Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jeanne d'Arc The first six chapters of Lamartine's "Jeanne d'Arc" were omitted from the first edition in the Pitt Press Series on account of the difficulties, philosophical and historical, which it was feared they would present to young pupils. As they form, however, a suitable introduction to the Life of Joan of Arc, shewing the state of society and the position of political parties at the time when she appeared on the scene, it has been deemed expedient to add them to the present edition, with explanatory notes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of France: Being the Story of the Life and Death of Jeanne D'arc Jeanne d'Arc, during her nineteen years of life, was a cause of contention among her own countrymen, and her memory divides them to the present day. In her life she was of course detested as a witch and heretic by the French of the Burgundian faction. After her death, her memory was distasteful to all writers who disbelieved in her supernormal faculties, and in her inspiration. She had no business to possess faculties for which science could not account, and which common sense could not accept. To-day, the quarrel over her character and career is especially bitter. If the Church canonises her, the Church is said, by the "Anticlericals," to "confiscate" her, and to stultify itself. Her courage and her goodness of heart are denied by no man, but, as a set-off against the praises of the "clericals," and even of historians far from orthodox, her genius is denied, or is minimised; she is represented as a martyr, a heroine, a puzzle-pated hallucinated lass, a perplexed wanderer in a realm of dreams; the unconscious tool of fraudulent priests, herself once doubtfully honest, apt to tell great palpable myths to her own glorification, never a leader in war, but only a kind of mascotte a "little saint," and a beguine - in breeches! It has appeared to me that all these inconsistent views of the Maid, and several charges against her best friends, are mainly based on erroneous readings of the copious evidence concerning her; on mistakes in the translating of the very bad Latin of the documents, and, generally, are distorted by a false historical perspective, if not by an unconscious hostility, into the grounds of which we need not inquire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeanne is a young woman from rural France. She's a knight who wears men's clothing. The English call her Joan of Arc. Jeanne has led France to victory in epic battles. She hears ghostly voices and has unspeakable desires. The English want to burn her. Her king has abandoned her. Her heart has been broken. Her heart cannot be burnt. This is her story, and the story of her beloved. Ali Alizadeh's novel The Last Days of Jeanne d'Arc is a provocative new portrait of the life of one of history's most fascinating figures. Countless books have been written about the young Frenchwoman who claimed to hear the voices of saints, led the armies of France in the war against England in the Middle Ages, and was captured and burnt for heresy by her enemies. Based on a rigorous study of the historical material, The Last Days of Jeanne d'Arc provides the first serious dramatisation of Jeanne's sexuality. Alizadeh uses an innovative storytelling technique that weaves together multiple narrative perspectives to tell the story of a courageous young woman who, driven by a passion for justice and forbidden desire, changes the course of Western history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Maid of Orleans, the Story of Jeanne D'arc for Girls IT was Twelfth Night in Domremy, a little French village. Out of doors the winter wind chilled the peasants who made their way along the narrow streets between the low stone houses. The valley mists from the river Meuse, here a small stream, swept through the hamlet, tangling themselves like silky smoke in the overhanging thatch of the cottages. Yet no one seemed to mind the cold or the fog, for Epiphany is a time for sport and gayety. What did a few shivers matter if you could pull your cap over your ears and beat your chest till it tingled? And was there not plenty of wood in the oak forest - the Bois Chesnu - not far off that would make splen did fires to dance around?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Footsteps of Jeanne D'arc: A Pilgrimage The stately front of Rheims has reminded the traveller by train of the heroine Of the fifteenth century, and, with a pause of pity for her fate, he passes on to some other drift of thought - to the risks to man in woman's suf frage, possibly. Before he dives deeper into this drift, it will do him no harm to rub up his recollections of Joan of Arc, and to try if all the histories he has read have given her equal personality with the myths Of early fable, or the beings of fiction created out of smoke. Though he may have a strong opinion as to the nature of her Spiritual claims, he may find his conception of her character dim and broken as a re ection upon the surface of a ruf ed lake, and his liveliest impression of her produced after all by actual pictures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Jeanne D'arc, Surnamed La Pucelle D'orleans, Vol. 2 of 2: With the History of Her Times La Pucelle was not allowed to attend; and great indecision and difference of Opinion were evinced as to the course of con duct that should be pursued. In this state of incertitude the king left the council-chamber without coming to any determination, and retired to his cabinet, where be summoned his confessor, Chris tophe de Harcourt, the bishop of Castres, and the lord de Treves, formerly chancellor of France, who, on account of his advanced age, had retired from that eminent post. Thus circumstanced, they were undetermined whether to admit La Pucelle or not; but Jeanne, impatient of delay, knocked at the door, demanding admission, and when in presence of the king, bespoke him as above, &c. - Lenglet, vol. I. P. 78. Luchet, at page 19, says, What had the king to apprehend when La Pucelle was at the head of his armies? His majesty, as void of confidence as he was ungrateful, left the council in a state of uncertainty, and shut himself up with his confessor, the bishop of Castres, and the lord de Treves, a mere simpleton, who had been displaced from the post of chancellor on account of his incapacity to undertake any affair of moment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jeanne D'arc: The Story of Her Life and Death France, in the fourteenth century, was far from being the compact state which we know by that name. It could hardly be called a nation at all. After the empire Of Charlemagne, as fragile as it was extensive, had broken into pieces, five centuries before, the weakness of that branch of his family to whom France had fallen, and the confusion and want of union that prevailed in consequence, added to, the terrible and constant invasions of the Northmen, caused large numbers of the native chiefs and warriors to build strong fortresses in the forests, on the tops Of mountains, and in' the crags of rocks. The less wealthy proprietors, along with the free' peasantry and the serfs, were glad to seek shelter with these, and in this way feudal society sprang into existence. The kingship waned in power and influence, while the great feudal lords, its nominal vassals, became really independent sovereigns. The sentiment of nationality became almost extinct. The mental horizon of the vassals of each feudal lord narrowed to his territory; all beyond was vague and uncertain. In the tenth century, Hugh Capet, duke of Paris, revived the French kingship, founded the Capetian dynasty, and began a struggle with the feudal power, that was still in progress in the fourteenth century. It was the feudal system' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
