Joan of Arc

Posted December 15th, 2006 by kelosh

Has anyone read this? It is on the 5 Pillar list I think.

If you have read it, which version did you read?

I read Vol. 1 of Mark Twain's Joan of Arc. Didn't realize it was a multi-parter until I'd gotten to the end! I thought it was interesting. I learned stuff I didn't know, but I'm not sure how much was fact (or, supposed fact), and how much was fiction.

I haven't read it, but both my sisters, who are attending GWC have read Mark Twain's version. I know that he felt it was his best work and spent years compiling information for _Joan of Arc_. I think he tried to be as accurate as possible. Both my sisters were impacted by this work. One,an artist, even painted her own rendition of Joan of Arc after reading it. HTH, Nicole

yes, thank you! Glad to know I chose a good version - there were several options on the library website and I hate choosing which would be best!
