Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Joan of Arc: The Life-Story of the Maid of Orleans "The name and fame of Jeanne d´Arc are ´in the catalogue of common things,´ like the rainbow; of things so familiar that an effort of the imagination is needed before we can appreciate the unique position of the Maid in history. The story of her career, as one of her learned French historians has said, ´is the most marvelous episode in our history, and in all histories.´ "She was the consummation and ideal of two noble human efforts toward perfection. The peasant´s daughter was the Flower of Chivalry, brave, gentle, merciful, courteous, kind, and loyal. Later poets and romance-writers delighted to draw the figure of the Lady-Knight; but Spenser and Ariosto could not create, Shakespeare could not imagine, such a being as Jeanne d´Arc. "She was the most perfect daughter of her Church; to her its Sacraments were the very Bread of Life; her conscience, by frequent confession, was kept fair and pure as the lilies of Paradise.
