Joan of Arc (Volume 2) concludes Mark Twain's sweeping historical novel, presented as the fictionalized memoirs of the Sieur Louis de Conte, a childhood friend and page to the Maid of Orléans. This volume follows the heroic journey of Joan from the height of her military triumphs to her eventual capture, trial, and martyrdom. Twain, who famously regarded this as his most significant and cherished work, spent years researching the life of the French saint to ensure historical accuracy while infusing the narrative with emotional depth and reverence.

The story focuses on the Siege of Orléans, the coronation of King Charles VII, and the subsequent political intrigues that led to Joan's downfall. Through the eyes of her loyal secretary, the reader witnesses the spiritual conviction and tactical brilliance of a peasant girl who challenged the powers of the medieval world. Moving away from his usual satirical humor, Twain delivers a poignant and respectful exploration of faith, courage, and the cost of absolute devotion. Joan of Arc remains a powerful literary tribute to one of the most enigmatic figures in world history, blending epic storytelling with a tragic, yet inspiring, human drama.
