The Broken Soldier And The Maid Of France is a historical novel written by Henry Van Dyke. The story is set in France during the Hundred Years' War and follows the journey of a broken soldier named Bertrand du Guesclin and a young maid named Joan of Arc. Bertrand, once a brave and skilled warrior, has lost his will to fight after being captured and tortured by the English. He is rescued by Joan, a peasant girl who claims to have been sent by God to help the French army defeat their English enemies. Despite Bertrand's initial skepticism, he begins to believe in Joan's divine mission and becomes her loyal companion and protector.Together, Bertrand and Joan embark on a dangerous journey to meet with the Dauphin of France and convince him to give Joan command of the French army. Along the way, they face numerous challenges and obstacles, including betrayal, treachery, and the threat of capture by the English.As they travel deeper into enemy territory, Bertrand and Joan's relationship deepens and they develop a mutual respect and admiration for each other. However, their journey ultimately leads to a tragic and heartbreaking conclusion, as both Bertrand and Joan are forced to confront their own mortality and the harsh realities of war.The Broken Soldier And The Maid Of France is a poignant and powerful tale of courage, faith, and love set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history.
