Download or read book Saint Joan Annotated Book For Children written by George Bernard Shaw and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The play is set between 1429 and 1431, with an epilogue set in 1456. During this time, the 100 Years War was raging between England and France, and English forces had occupied a number of French cities and towns. The play begins with Joan asking a French nobleman, Robert de Baudricourt, to provide her with armor, a horse, and soldiers. Joan is an adolescent girl from a small country village, but she has had visions of saints telling her that it is her destiny to lead French forces to victory and ensure that the Dauphin (heir to the throne) is officially crowned as King. Robert is hesitant to support Joan, but he gives in when he sees that she is capable of inspiring men to fight for her.Joan travels to Chinon, where the Dauphin has set up an informal court. Despite an attempt to trick her, she easily identifies the Dauphin, which further encourages others to see her as guided by God. Joan persuades the Dauphin that she is going to free the city of Orleans (held under siege by English forces) and have him crowned at Rheims Cathedral. Leading troops, Joan goes to Orleans, where the French forces are frustrated. They need the winds to change so that they can sail upriver and attack the English from behind. Joan prays, and the wind immediately changes, allowing the French forces to win a triumphant victory.The French victory at Orleans changes the tide of the war, which worries English leaders. Earlier in the war, the English had formed an alliance with the Burgundians, a French faction who opposed the royal house to which Charles belonged. Warwick, an English nobleman, meets with Cauchon, a Burgundian Bishop. Both men agree that Joan is dangerous and must be eliminated. Meanwhile, Charles has been crowned at Rheims Cathedral. Joan is worried because she seems to be becoming unpopular, and several people accuse her of being proud, stubborn, and reckless. With Charles crowned, Joan wants to lead forces to try to take back Paris, but no one supports this plan. Nonetheless, Joan insists that she has to follow God's orders.

Book excerpt: Joan of Arc was perhaps the most wonderful person who ever lived in the world. The story of her life is so strange that we could scarcely believe it to be true, if all that happened to her had not been told by people in a court of law, and written down by her deadly enemies, while she was still alive. She was burned to death when she was only nineteen: she was not seventeen when she first led the armies of France to victory, and delivered her country from the English.

Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
