description: The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc V1 is a historical novel written by the renowned American author Mark Twain. The book tells the story of Joan of Arc, a young French girl who claimed to have divine guidance and led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War. Twain's novel is based on extensive research and provides a fictionalized account of Joan's life, from her humble beginnings in the village of Domr�����my to her eventual trial and execution at the hands of the English. The novel is written in the first person, with Joan narrating her own story, and is divided into three parts. In the first part, Joan recounts her childhood and how she received her divine mission to drive the English out of France. She describes her journey to the Dauphin's court, her military victories, and her relationship with her soldiers. In the second part, Joan is captured by the English and put on trial for heresy. She describes her imprisonment, her trial, and her eventual execution. In the third part, the narrator, who is a fictionalized version of Joan's secretary, reflects on Joan's life and legacy. The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc V1 is a compelling and moving account of one of history's most fascinating figures. Twain's vivid descriptions and engaging storytelling bring Joan's story to life, and his portrayal of her as a brave and devout young woman has made this novel a classic of historical fiction.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.
