About this audiobook
"Personal Memories of Jean d'Arc of Sérus Louis de Conte" by Mark Twain is a monumental, deep and unexpectedly serious historical novel of the great American writer, which Twain himself considered the best and most important work of his life. With love and devotion throughout his lifetime, the elderly de Conte tells the story of a pure, useless, and fearless Domean peasant girl, who was determined to rise to the head of the French army, to save the country from the British conquest and to unite the nation. The book covers the entire tragic and great path of Jeanne: from the first revealed heavenly voices and brilliant military victories to the betrayal of authorities, the trial and the martyr's death on the roof in Rouen. Twain, famous for his ironic and satirical style, approached the creation of this book with scrupulous historianism, studying the archives and judicial protocols of the 15th century. As a result, it was an incredibly touching, elevated and inspiring novel about faithfulness, подвиг, perpetual faith and tragedy of great personality among human jealousy and political intrigues. ** About what the book in three words:** Movement, Faith, Immortality. **Who to read:** Lovers of large-scale historical novels, lovers of inspiring biographical stories, fans of Mark Twain's creativity, revealing from an unexpected dramatic side, and everyone who is interested in the fate of the Orlean Virgin.
