Twain's novel is based on extensive research into historical documents and accounts of Joan of Arc's life, and he presents a vivid and detailed portrait of the young woman who became a national hero and a symbol of French resistance. He explores Joan's motivations, her faith, and her relationships with the people around her, including the Dauphin of France, Charles VII, who she helped to crown as king. The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc V1 is a gripping and moving account of one of the most fascinating figures in history, and Twain's masterful storytelling brings her story to life in a way that is both entertaining and informative. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, biography, or the human spirit.Ah, France had fallen low--so low! For more than three quarters of a century the English fangs had been bedded in her flesh, and so cowed had her armies become by ceaseless rout and defeat that it was said and accepted that the mere sight of an English army was sufficient to put a French one to flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
