About this ebook
As the English sought to tighten their grip on French territory, Joan emerged as a beacon of hope and an unlikely champion for her countrymen. Lang skillfully chronicles Joan's meteoric rise from a humble peasant girl to a fearless military leader, driven by her unwavering belief in divine visions that compelled her to rally the French forces and turn the tide of the war.
With a keen eye for historical detail, Lang captures the intensity of the battles, the political machinations, and the religious fervor that defined Joan's era. The narrative crescendos as Joan, guided by her unshakable faith and conviction, not only plays a pivotal role in securing France's liberation but also earns a place as a messenger of God in the hearts of her compatriots.
However, as the winds of war subside, the story takes a poignant turn, delving into Joan's tragic fate. Lang sensitively portrays her struggles against political intrigue, her capture by the English, and the heart-wrenching trial that ultimately led to her martyrdom. Through Joan's unyielding courage and sacrifice, readers witness the profound intersection of faith, duty, and destiny.
"The Story of Joan of Arc" is not merely a historical account but a deeply moving exploration of one woman's indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. As Joan ascends to the status of a saint in the Catholic Church, Lang's narrative leaves an indelible mark, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of this remarkable heroine who, against all odds, left an indelible imprint on the pages of both history and faith.
Andrew Lang
Andrew Lang (March, 31, 1844 – July 20, 1912) was a Scottish writer and literary critic who is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. Lang’s academic interests extended beyond the literary and he was a noted contributor to the fields of anthropology, folklore, psychical research, history, and classic scholarship, as well as the inspiration for the University of St. Andrew’s Andrew Lang Lectures. A prolific author, Lang published more than 100 works during his career, including twelve fairy books, in which he compiled folk and fairy tales from around the world. Lang’s Lilac Fairy and Red Fairy books are credited with influencing J. R. R. Tolkien, who commented on the importance of fairy stories in the modern world in his 1939 Andrew Lang Lecture “On Fairy-Stories.”
