JOAN OF ARC

JOAN OF ARC — HILAIRE BELLOC

How did a young woman from a French village come to stand at the centre of a kingdom’s struggle? In Joan of Arc, Hilaire Belloc turns to the life of the Maid of Orléans: her courage, her faith, her part in France’s fight, and the trial that led to her death.

This is a book for readers drawn to the human story behind a historical figure. Belloc’s portrait invites you to look beyond the familiar image of Joan in armour and consider why her life has continued to fascinate generations of readers.
