| Summary | "The Story of Joan of Arc" by Andrew Lang is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the remarkable life of Joan of Arc, a peasant girl who rose to become a pivotal figure in the Hundred Years' War, leading the French army to several victories against the English invaders. It explores themes of faith, bravery, and the quest for national identity through the life and actions of its main character, Joan. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Joan of Arc as a young girl living in a troubled France beset by war. The opening chapters detail her humble beginnings in the village of Domremy, her childhood innocence, and the divine voices that guide her, instructing her to save her country from the English. These voices, along with her profound kindness and unwavering bravery, set the stage for her remarkable destiny. As Joan becomes more aware of the suffering in her country, she is compelled to take action, culminating in her determination to meet the Dauphin to help rally France against the English forces. The opening lays a strong foundation for understanding Joan's character and the extraordinary events that follow in her life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
