Summary "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 06 (of 15), French" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume presents a collection of narratives and episodes that highlight significant events in French history, beginning with tales of the city of Orleans and the dramatic confrontation with Attila the Hun. The stories blend factual history with a romantic flair, aiming to engage readers with the colorful and often tumultuous past of France. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces the city of Orleans, celebrated for its rich history as a center of resistance against Attila in the 5th century. The opening portion vividly paints the scene of impending doom from the Hunnish siege and the city's valiant defense, led by the wise Bishop Anianus. As hope hangs in the balance, the rallying cry for relief echoes through the walls, setting the stage for a gripping confrontation between the forces of civilization and the savage Huns. The chapter combines elements of strategy, suspense, and faith, encapsulating the larger themes of heroism and the preservation of civilization against barbarism.
