A peasant girl who hears voices  from God. A warrior leading an army to victory, in an age that believes  women cannot fight. The Maid of Orléans, and the saviour of France.  Burned at the stake as a heretic at the age of just nineteen. Five  hundred years later, a saint. Her case was heard in court twice over.  One trial, in 1431, condemned her; the other, twenty-five years after  her death, cleared her name. In the transcripts, we hear first-hand  testimony from Joan, her family and her friends: a rare survival from  the medieval world. What could be more revealing? But all is not as simple as it seems, because this is a life told  backwards, in hindsight - a story already shaped by the knowledge of  what Joan would become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eJoan of Arc: A History\u003c\/i\u003e, Helen Castor tells this gripping story  afresh: forwards, not backwards, setting this extraordinary girl within  her extraordinary world where no one - not Joan herself, nor the people  around her, princes, bishops, soldiers or peasants - knew what would  happen next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780571284634\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780571284634","offer_id":58965038629189,"sku":"9780571284634","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73461_14ffb6a4-018f-44e9-b125-eab799fce3a7.jpg?v=1787457818","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/joan-of-arc-von-helen-castor","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
