- Résumé : "When the World Shook" by H. Rider Haggard is a narrative that delves into the life of Humphrey Arbuthnot, a wealthy and introspective man who finds himself at a crossroads. Born in a Devonshire village, Arbuthnot inherits his father's intellectual prowess but lacks a singular focus, leading to a series of career attempts that ultimately leave him unfulfilled. Despite his financial success, he grapples with a sense of purposelessness, exacerbated by his fastidious nature and lack of perseverance. His friendships with Bastin, a straightforward clergyman, and Bickley, a skeptical surgeon, provide intellectual stimulation but do not fill the void in his life. Arbuthnot's journey takes a turn when he travels to Rome and meets Natalie, the daughter of a British diplomat. Their immediate and profound connection leads to a swift change and marriage, offering Arbuthnot a glimpse of happiness and companionship. However, the narrative foreshadows potential tragedy, as Bastin's candid remarks hint at the fragility of Arbuthnot's newfound joy. The story explores themes of existential longing, the search for meaning, and the unpredictable nature of life and love.
