Lucien Fabre's Joan of Arc presents an in-depth historical biography of Jeanne d'Arc, a 15th-century French country girl who led an army against the English in the Hundred Years' War. The book chronicles her inspiring journey from Domrémy, through the liberation of Orléans, to the coronation of Charles VII in Reims, and her tragic end. Despite her successes, she was captured, tried by the English and French collaborators, and ultimately burned at the stake on May 30, 1431. Lucien Fabre focuses on historical details and the significance of Joan's heroic actions in turning the tide during a critical period of the Hundred Years' War.
