Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc

De: Mark Twain

Narrado por: Robin Field

Regarded by many as the most luminous example of Twain's work, this historical novel chronicles the French heroine's life, as purportedly told by her longtime friend--Sieur Louis de Conte. A panorama of stirring scenes recount Joan's childhood in Domremy, the story of her voices, the fight for Orleans, the splendid march to Rheims, and much more. An amazing record that disclosed Twain's unrestrained admiration for Joan's nobility of character, the book is matchless in its workmanship--one of Twain's lesser-known novels that will charm and delightfully surprise his admirers and devotees.

Life changing!!

Captivating storytelling. I was weeping at the end. She was an absolute inspiration and we haven’t seen the like since.

Mark Twain told the story beautifully

This audiobook drew me in from the very first minutes. I knew little of Joan of Arc and in the last chapters, I shed tears. Wonderful storytelling.

Sublime

I don’t know how anyone can read this book and walk away unchanged. I’ve honored Joan of Arc all my life yet this book did not come to my attention until I was told it was sourced. By sourced I mean (as with much great literature) the writers mind is held in thrall to an invisible force. Not to mention Twains 12 years of influencing research. The book is extremely detailed, personal, and overflowing w reverence and heart.

Faith to the faithless

This book was first given to me to read during a particularly difficult time in my life. It gave me Faith and strength to get through my troubles. although I thought all the story to be capturing and amazing and told well my favorite parts were the little stories or comments that would make you laugh. Like a sheep wondering how it came to eat a wolf or the uncle riding the bull knocking down the beehive and wrecking a funeral. But truly an amazing story as told by this man's recollections and it makes me desire to learn much more of her history and to visit France and see these places where she lived and fought.

Robin Field is an AMAZING narrator!

My husband and I liked everything about this book, Mark Twain's best and favorite. The true story of St. Joan of Arc is so inspiring, & Mr. Field read it with great emotion, as if he'd been there and grew up with Joan! We didn't want it to end. We're so glad that justice was finally done!
