About this listen

Very few people know that Mark Twain wrote a major work on Joan of Arc. Still fewer know that he considered it not only his most important, but also his best work. He spent 12 years in research and many months in France doing archival work, and then made several attempts until he felt he finally had the story he wanted to tell. He reached his conclusion about Joan's unique place in history only after studying in detail accounts written by both sides: the French, for whom she raised an army to return the Dauphin to the throne; and the English, who fought the French in the Hundred Year's War and were ultimately Joan's executioners. This is a fascinating and remarkably accurate biography of the life and mission of Joan of Arc told by one of this country's greatest storytellers.Public Domain (P)1992 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Twain's best

Mark Twain considered Joan of Arc to be the best human our world ever produced. His great admiration shines through and can't help but inspire the reader as well. Although the story takes some fanciful flights, it is a marvelous and amazing recounting of a peasant girl leading a nation to freedom. Since French independence was so pivotal to the American revolution, it is a part of our own history. It is a reflection of the best in human nature.

Nice Listen

I enjoyed the presentation. I had zero prior knowledge of Joan and had never read a Twain book. The author is very kind to Joan and paints her as a noble and courageous person. I would like to read a more historical book on Joan for a contrast.

Joan of Arc by Mark Twain

Hands down: This is the MOST comprehensive work on the life of Joan of Arc. Mark Twain knew his subject matter inside and out when he wrote this biography. Without a doubt, I would recommend this title to anyone who is interested in this subject. An excellent listen at 16 hrs. or any amount of time!!!

An incredible historical read about an incredible Saint

Awesome narrator with an excellent command of French, presented Mark Twain’s 12 year researched masterpiece of one of God’s greatest Saints. A brilliantly researched and written life story of St. Joan of Arc. Fantastic! God bless St. Joan! Thank you Mark Twain!

Phenomenal

First of all, the story of Joan of Arc, is one for everyone to understand and appreciate. I felt that I had hit the jackpot when I discovered that Mark Twain had authored this masterpiece. To be honest, other than some sampling’s of his writing style, I had never read or listened to a complete work of Mark Twain’s. What a magical author he was. My next download will most definitely be another one of his masterpieces.
