The Mystery of Joan of Arc

The Mystery of Joan of Arc is a historical book written by Leon Denis that explores the life and legacy of Joan of Arc, the legendary French heroine who led the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years War. The book delves into the mysteries surrounding Joan's life, including her visions and voices that guided her to fight for her country, her trial and execution by the English, and her subsequent canonization by the Catholic Church. Denis examines the historical context of Joan's life, including the political and religious tensions that existed in France during the 15th century, and the impact of her actions on the course of French history. He also explores the various interpretations of Joan's life and legacy, including her role as a feminist icon and a symbol of French nationalism. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, making it accessible to a wide range of readers interested in history, religion, and mythology. It provides a fascinating look at one of the most enigmatic figures in French history and offers new insights into the enduring mystery of Joan of Arc.1925. It is hoped that the reader who is ignorant of psychic matters, or out of sympathy with them, will be able to recognize the beauty of this picture done by one who had such love for his subject that he followed the maid every inch of the way from Domremy to Rouen. Denis' treatment of his heroine is so complete that there is no need to say anything save to express Doyle's personal conviction that, next to Christ, the highest spiritual being of whom we have any exact record upon this earth is the girl Joan.
