"The Maid of Orleans" by Friedrich Henning is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of Joan of Arc, detailing her journey from the pastoral life of a shepherd maiden to becoming the iconic Maid of Orleans, who leads France to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War. Through a blend of historical fact and romantic fiction, it delves into Joan's visions, her mission to crown the Dauphin, and the societal and personal challenges she faces. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Joan of Arc in her childhood, set in her home village of Domremy. It vividly describes the enchanting surroundings, such as the Fairy Tree, where a twelve-year-old Joan experiences visions and listens to the whispers of saints. We witness her innocent but spirited nature as she protects her sheep and shows compassion towards a wounded bird. Joan's longing to become a warrior against the injustices faced by her country grows as she contemplates her role in the world, leading to her heartfelt wish, "Oh, were I only a man!" This poignant introduction sets the stage for her incredible destiny and illustrates her complex character, filled with both youthful innocence and a profound sense of duty.
