Descrizione

About The Book: "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" (1896) by Mark Twain unfolds the life of Joan of Arc through the fictionalized memoirs of Sieur Louis de Conte. This two-volume book is divided into three parts, exploring Joan's early years in Domrémy, her leadership of Charles VII's army, and her trial in Rouen. Twain employs the pen name "Jean Francois Alden" for a translator's preface, lending a serious tone to the work. The narrative begins in 1492, with de Conte chronicling Joan's life from childhood, highlighting her exceptional virtues and divine visions. Book Two recounts Joan's military exploits, her triumphs, and disappointments. The final section delves into her unjust trial, emphasizing the biased proceedings and Joan's steadfastness. The novel concludes with de Conte reflecting on the impact of Joan's legacy. Twain's historical fiction masterfully weaves fact and imagination to portray the remarkable journey of Joan of Arc.
