Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Days of Jeanne D´arc This book is the outcome of many months´ patient study and collection of material in America; the revisal and rejection of much of this in Paris; of journeys over the Maid´s country and her path from Domremy to Rouen, in voitures, on foot, in carts; of a careful study of the fifteenth century; and, at the risk of moving a smile, I will confess it is the result of a divine hint. Too much stress cannot be laid on geographical correctness in the setting of any historical story. More than two thousand books have been written about Jeanne d´Arc, many being mere repetitions of previous books. The list of these works makes a formidable volume. She is almost the only human being who grows more admirable and wonderful the nearer you come to the truth about her. Occasionally you will hear a reader exclaim, like the courtiers at Bourges, "Jeanne d´Arc! - I am sick of her!" But the majority of the world go on from generation to generation imitating the troops of France, who form in front of the stone shed where she was born and present arms to her before they pass by.
