About Personal Reflections Of Joan Of Arc
A new edition of Mark Twain's historical novel, Personal Reflections of Joan of Arc, originally published in 1896. Twain presents the novel as a translation of the memoirs of Joan of Arc's personal page, Louis de Conte, telling the story of Joan's youth, her military exploits, and her trial and martyrdom. Twain considered Joan of Arc to be his best and most important work -- the product of a decade research and two years of painstaking writing. Twain's Joan of Arc was a notable departure from his other, most famous works -- it lacks some of his signature humor and adopts a reverential, almost hagiographic tone. Yet it still has Twain's deft touch and is an important part of the body of work of perhaps America's finest and most important writer. Mark Twain, the pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 – 1910) was an American writer, remembered by many critics as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced" and, in the words of William Faulkner, "the father of American literature." His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884) -- often called "The Great American Novel" -- The Prince and the Pauper (1881), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), among other works.
