The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc V2

Bag om The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc V2

""The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc"" is a historical novel written by Mark Twain. This is the second volume of the two-part book, which tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French girl who leads the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War. The book is written in the form of a memoir, with Joan narrating her own story. It covers her early life, her visions and voices from God, her military campaigns, her capture and trial, and her eventual execution. Twain's novel is based on historical records and is considered one of the most accurate portrayals of Joan of Arc. The book offers a unique insight into the life and times of one of the most remarkable women in history.How did she know it? It was simple: she was a peasant. That tells the whole story. She was of the people and knew the people; those others moved in a loftier sphere and knew nothing much about them. We make little account of that vague, formless, inert mass, that mighty underlying force which we call ""the people""--an epithet which carries contempt with it. It is a strange attitude;This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
