About this book

Mark Twain spent years researching this novel and considered it his finest work, far from the humorist's usual register. It presents the life of Joan of Arc as a memoir written by Louis de Conte, her fictional page and childhood friend, who follows her from the fields of Domremy to the head of the French army and, at last, to the stake. Through his devoted eyes we watch the peasant girl claim her visions, win over a doubting king, lift the siege of Orleans, and face her trial with unshaken courage. Reverent where Twain was usually mocking, the book stands as his tribute to a heroine he admired all his life. A free PDF and EPUB edition are available here.
