"The Executioner's Knife; Or, Joan of Arc" by Eugène Sue is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a larger series titled "The Mysteries of the People," and it intertwines fictional storytelling with actual historical events, focusing on the life of Joan of Arc and the broader struggles of the oppressed classes during the English occupation of France. The novel engages with heavy themes such as injustice, oppression, and the role of gender in a patriarchal society, utilizing Joan as a central figure to illustrate these conflicts. The opening portion introduces us to Jeannette, a young girl living in the village of Domremy, who is precociously intelligent, pious, and deeply affected by the tumultuous events surrounding her. The narrative paints a vivid picture of her idyllic childhood, which is punctuated by tales of gallant heroes and dark omens about the English invaders who threaten her homeland. As she grapples with her own emotions and the grim realities of war, she begins to embody the prophecy of a future savior of France. Through her interactions with her family and the mystical elements of her community, Jeannette is poised on the cusp of transformation into the legendary Joan of Arc, a character destined to take on the mantle of warrior and liberator in the face of overwhelming odds.
