"Passionate. . . . Harrison superbly teases out the politics and paradoxes of the Maid of Orleans' wildly improbable saga." --Elle
"It remains, after nearly 600 years, a story to break your heart . . . . It is Joan's rambunctious humanity as much as her divinity that makes her powerful, both for modern audiences and historians." --The New York Times Book Review "Stunning. . . . A layered portrait not only of Joan's life, but of her times. . . . [Harrison] awes us with her incisive intelligence, her fierce curiosity, her literary prowess.""Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Novelist and memoirist Kathryn Harrison brings Joan of Arc to new life in a vital, exciting new biography, creating a multidimensional portrait of the saint from hundreds of years of portrayals in literature and film.Kathryn Harrison gives us a Joan of Arc for our time-a shining exemplar of unshakable faith, extraordinary courage, and self-confidence on the battlefield, in the royal court, during a brutally rigged inquisition and imprisonment, and in the face of her death. In this new take on Joan's story, Harrison deftly weaves historical fact, myth, folklore, scripture, artistic representations, and centuries of scholarly and critical interpretation into a fascinating narrative, revitalizing our sense of Joan as one of the greatest heroines in all of human history.
