Classics Read in English _ A Monk of Fife by Andrew Lang
"A Monk of Fife" by Andrew Lang is a historical novel set in the early 15th century. The narrative revolves around the life and experiences of Norman Leslie, a Scottish monk who recounts his adventures and observations during a tumultuous period in France marked by the Hundred Years' War and the rise of Jeanne d'Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans. The story provides a unique Scottish perspective on a historical figure and events that significantly impacted France. The beginning of "A Monk of Fife" introduces us to Norman Leslie, who reflects on his upbringing in Fife and his formative experiences, including his mother's death and a fateful encounter with a sailor. Troubles arise when Leslie unintentionally becomes involved in a violent altercation during a game of golf, prompting him to flee to France. This leads to his engagement with Jeanne d'Arc's story, as he determines to chronicle the events he witnessed during a critical time for both France and Scotland. The opening sets the tone for an adventure filled with themes of honor, identity, and historical significance, inviting readers into a richly woven historical tapestry.

Among the contents
It is not of my own will, nor for my own glory, that I, Norman Leslie, sometime of Pitcullo, and in religion called Brother Norman, of the Order of Benedictines, of Dunfermline, indite this book. But on my coming out of France, in the year of our Lord One thousand four hundred and fifty-nine, it was laid on me by my Superior, Richard, Abbot in Dunfermline, that I should abbreviate the Great Chronicle of Scotland, and continue the same down to our own time. He bade me tell, moreover, all that I knew of the glorious Maid of France, called Jeanne la Pucelle, in whose company I was, from her beginning even till her end.
