Beschreibung
The strange story of Joan of Arc the obscure peasant girl who became the national saint of France is retold in this celebrated classic biography. Saint Joan lives for the reader on every page as a shepherd girl in a remote part of fifteenth-century rural France visited by visions of saints and angels; as the avenging virgin who regenerated the soul of a torn and wretched France and led her troops to victory; and as a condemned heretic and witch burned at the stake and five hundred years later canonised as a saint.
