"Johanna d'Arc: Kertomus hänen elämästään ja marttyrikuolemastaan" by Mark Twain is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the life and martyrdom of the iconic historical figure Joan of Arc, exploring her character, actions, and the societal conditions of her time. The narrative is presented from the perspective of her scribe, Sieur Louis de Conte, and aims to provide an authentic portrayal of Joan's extraordinary influence on French history. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed examination of Joan's early life and the historical context in which she lived. It introduces Louis de Conte, who recounts his memories of growing up alongside Joan in the village of Domrémy. He reflects on the severe conditions faced by Ransan society due to warfare and oppression, highlighting Joan's purity, courage, and benevolence in stark contrast to the tumultuous environment surrounding her. As the narrative unfolds, it establishes Joan as a remarkable figure who defies the norms of her time, ultimately leading her nation in a fight for freedom against English dominance.
