The Life of Joan of Arc V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162760513)

The Life of Joan of Arc V1 is a biographical book written by French author Anatole France. The book chronicles the life of Joan of Arc, a French heroine who played a pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War between France and England. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different period in Joan's life. The book starts with Joan's childhood and her visions of saints and angels, which ultimately led her to become a warrior and a leader of the French army. The book also covers Joan's trial and execution, as well as the aftermath of her death. Throughout the book, France provides a detailed and vivid account of Joan's life, using historical documents and his own research to paint a picture of this remarkable woman. The book is a tribute to Joan's courage, faith, and determination, and serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy as a symbol of French nationalism and female empowerment.1908. Part One of Two. Anatole France is the pen name of Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault, French novelist, poet, critic and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1921. A history of the French saint and martyr based on the form and substance of ancient documents. France writes in the Introduction that: In the course of my story I have related many incidents which, without having a direct relation to Jeanne, reveal the spirit, the morals, and the beliefs of her time. These incidents are usually of a religious order. They must necessarily be so, for Jeanne's story-and I cannot repeat it too often-is the story of a saint, just like that of Colette of Corbie, or of Catherine of Sienna. The Contents in this volume range from her Childhood through the Rise of the Legend. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
