Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417975549)

The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc is a historical fiction novel written by Louis Conte. The book tells the story of Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl who claimed to have received divine visions and led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War. The novel is presented as a memoir, with Joan herself as the narrator, recounting her experiences from childhood to her eventual trial and execution for heresy. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part focusing on Joan's early life and her visions from Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret. The second part follows Joan as she leads the French army to several victories, including the lifting of the siege of Orleans and the coronation of King Charles VII. The third part deals with Joan's capture by the English, her trial for heresy, and her eventual execution at the stake. The novel is known for its sympathetic portrayal of Joan, portraying her as a brave and devout young woman who is unfairly persecuted by the Church and the English. The book also offers a vivid depiction of medieval France, with detailed descriptions of battles, court intrigue, and the daily life of peasants and nobles alike. Overall, The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc is a compelling and emotional retelling of one of history's most fascinating figures, and is considered one of the best works of historical fiction ever written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
