"The Mentor: Joan of Arc, v. 3, Num. 22, Serial No. 98, January 1, 1916" by Tarbell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and legacy of Joan of Arc, a pivotal figure in French history who claimed to have received divine guidance to help save France during the Hundred Years' War. This account explores themes of faith, valor, and personal sacrifice, shedding light on her remarkable journey from a peasant girl to a national heroine, eventually leading to her martyrdom. In this book, the author, Ida M. Tarbell, presents a detailed narrative of Joan of Arc's life, beginning with her humble origins in Domrémy, France. The text recounts her divine visions that inspired her to support Charles VII and lift the English siege of Orléans, culminating in his coronation. It emphasizes the unwavering belief Joan held in her mission, despite the skepticism she faced from men in power. Ultimately, the book portrays her tragic capture, trial, and execution, skillfully capturing both her deep piety and the sociopolitical complexities of her time.
