A beautiful reprint edition of Mark Twain's fictionalized life of Joan of Arc. Published initially under a psuedonym, Twain baffled critics with this somber novel of the famous French-Catholic martyr: he was known to hate the French and religion. Included is a letter from a Mark Twain Historian, explaining the history of this novel. Red cloth boards with silver and gilt design of a shield and sword with fleur de lis. DJ bumped at corners. A beautiful copy of a strange work from one of America's greatest writers.
