Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc - Mark Twain
Book Summary In 1429, a 17-year-old peasant girl receives a message from Heaven that she is to rescue France from its English oppressors. Within two years this most unlikely of heroines leads a ragtag army to victory, sees the king crowned, and dies at the stake, martyred by traitors. America's most famous storyteller, Mark Twain, was obsessed with the story of Joan of Arc, and labored 12 years to tell it in this novel, which he considered his masterpiece Last edited by Ron.; 04-21-2011 at 12:44 PM. |

I'll second the Joan of Arc book. I never heard of it before, but your description seems fascinating. Is it available in ebook?

I am continuing to update post #21 with nominated books (and put fully nominated books in post #1), please let me know of any errors, changes, or additional information I need to fix/add.
Welcome to MR and thank you for your selections. As said, 1984 already has 3 nominations. In order to be eligible, books need to be in the public domain. I also would to have both title and author and would especially like to have at least a link and book blurb to make it easier to post them. Would you please supply me with more information about your eligible choice? Thank you. |
