SynopsisIn an exquisite English translation from the bestselling French edition, Joan of Arc: Her Story now appears for American readers. From the French peasant girl who led an army to the icon burned at the stake, Joan has been a blank slate on which thousands have written. Pernoud and Clin clear away the myths so that modern readers can see Joan as she was and include a glossary of important individuals, historical events and interpretations of Joan through the ages. Joan of Arc: Her Story is the thrilling life of a woman who obsesses us even to this day., In a distinguished English translation, the bestselling French book now considered the standard biography of Joan published just in time for the upcoming film by Luc Besson.
AN INTENSIVE STUDY OF ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING WOMEN IN HISTORY (HERSTORY)..ALONG WITH MARK TWAIN'S EFFORT I CONSIDER THIS PARTICULAR BOOK AS INFORMATIVE AS HISTORY PERMITS
I was impressed with the knowledge of God that Joan had in her writings. In the 1400’s knowledge came from the Catholic Church and men. Yet Joan grasped concepts that transcend religious dogma. Beautiful story.
