Descriere magazin:
Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de Conte is an 1896 novel by Mark Twain that recounts the life of Joan of Arc. It is Twain\'s last completed novel, published when he was 61 years old. The novel is presented as a translation (by Jean Francois Alden) of memoirs by Louis de Conte, a fictionalized version of Joan of Arc\'s page, Louis de Contes. The novel is divided into 3 sections according to Joan of Arc\'s development: a youth in Domrémy, a commander of the army of Charles VII of France, and a defendant at trial in Rouen.

Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He served an apprenticeship with a printer and then worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to the newspaper of his older brother Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1865, his humorous story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County was published, based on a story that he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention and was even translated into classic Greek.His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to p
