When the World Shook
by H. Rider Haggard
Three Englishmen, maroon on the mysterious island of the South Sea, learn about Oro, the powerful god of the islanders who have been sleeping for 250,000 years. It is the ringing of his lost love as he manages to wake him up with his beautiful daughter, the saliva of the image of the dead wife of the hero. Other inhabitants of the ancient Atlantean civilization also come back to life in this story of spiritual travel, reincarnation, hidden forces, teleportation, an underground city, an elixir of life, and remarkable legendary depth. One of the last novels of the author of King Solomon's Mines.
