"Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" is a historical novel written by Mark Twain, first published in 1896. It is a departure from Twain's usual style, as it is a serious and reverent portrayal of the life of Joan of Arc, the French heroine who played a pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War. The novel is presented as a fictional memoir, purportedly written by Joan's longtime friend and companion, Sieur Louis de Conte. Through de Conte's eyes, Twain tells the story of Joan's life, from her humble beginnings in the French village of Domrémy to her rise as a military leader and her eventual trial and martyrdom. "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of its protagonist and its meticulous attention to historical detail. Twain spent years researching Joan's life and the historical context in which she lived, and the novel reflects his deep admiration for her courage, faith, and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. While not as well-known as Twain's more famous works, "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" is considered by many critics to be one of his finest achievements. It is praised for its beautiful prose, its compelling narrative, and its insightful exploration of themes such as faith, heroism, and the power of the human spirit.
