Love this book. Always have been interested in St Joan of Arc. After visiting the Joan of Arc chapel at Marquette, I wanted to learn more and by America's famous author, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). Book is in perfect condition.

Well done and agrees with what I have read, agrees with the known historical Trial of Joan of Arc. I have read that some thought Twains book too sentimental, too worshipful. I think Mark Twain hit the nail on the head. I agree with writer Twain - that not only was Joan of Arc a significant hero in France, she embodied France for a time being and reformed it for starting over and standing tall for its own worth. If not mistaken, Twain wrote this before Joan was canonized and given sainthood. Mr Twain seems to have already known of her sainthood. His writing may have influenced the powers that decide on such matters. Mr Twain knew alot about people, peoples behaviors, peoples follies. Apparently he knew a saint when he studied one and let it be known in this book. I think Joan has this kind of impact on a lot of us who read and reflect on her faith and courage, still in this day and time.Read full review
