Description
Joan of Arc: Her Story by Régine Pernoud and Marie-Véronique Clin is a meticulously researched biography that presents a compelling and historically grounded account of Joan of Arc’s life. Drawing from original trial records, letters, and contemporary accounts, the book offers an intimate portrait of the young peasant girl who rose to lead French forces during the Hundred Years’ War and ultimately became a martyr.
Unlike many dramatized or mythologized versions of Joan’s story, Pernoud and Clin rely on historical evidence to present her as both a deeply spiritual figure and a skilled leader. They explore her visions, military campaigns, political struggles, and the unjust trial that led to her execution at the age of nineteen.
This biography is essential reading for anyone interested in medieval history, religious mysticism, or the life of one of history’s most fascinating and influential women.
