Instead of the icon, she gives us a living, breathing young woman; a roaring girl fighting the English, and taking sides in a bloody civil war that was tearing fifteenth century France apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere is a portrait of a 19-year-old peasant who hears voices from God; a teenager transformed into a warrior leading an army to victory, in an age that believed women should not fight. And it is also the story behind the myth we all know, a myth which began to take hold at her trial: that of the Maid of Orleans, the saviour of France, a young woman burned at the stake as a heretic, a woman who five hundred years later would be declared a saint. Joan and her world are brought vividly to life in this refreshing new take on the medieval world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelen Castor brings us to the heart of the action, to a woman and a country in turmoil, a world where no-one - not Joan herself, nor the people around her, princes, bishops, soldiers or peasants - knew what would happen next.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2015\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr\u003ePages: 328\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 0571284639\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9780571284634\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helen Castor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52964362617098,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780571284634.jpg?v=1777642738","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/joan-of-arc","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
