Johanna d'Arc: Kertomus hänen elämästään ja marttyrikuolemastaan

Through the eyes of Louis de Conte, Joan of Arc’s own scribe, this vivid portrait follows a humble farm girl whose sudden visions of saints set her on a path to the French throne. The narrative captures her unwavering belief, her bold appeal to the Dauphin, and the extraordinary moment when she took up the banner of a beleaguered nation. It paints a world of medieval hardship, where cruelty and hope coexist, and introduces the spiritual fire that would drive her onward.

De Conte’s account blends meticulous detail with a reverent tone, revealing how Joan inspired soldiers, rallied townsfolk, and altered the course of the Hundred Years’ War without ever having held a formal command. The chronicle also hints at the political intrigues that soon surround her, as rival factions begin to view her miraculous rise with suspicion. Readers are left with a compelling portrait of a young woman whose courage and conviction stand in stark contrast to the brutal reality of her age.
