14세기와 15세기에 걸친 영국과 프랑스간의 100년 전쟁 기간이 막바지로 치달으면서 프랑스의 운명이 풍전등화의 위기에 처했을 때, 17세 소녀 잔다르크가 프랑스군을 이끌고 독립을 쟁취하고 19세에 비극적인 최후를 맞는 과정을 Diane Stanley가 아름다운 금박의 그림과 쉬운 문장으로 보여줍니다. 잔다르크의 이상, 용기, 그리고 온 몸을 불사르는 결단력 등은 독자에게 깊은 감명을 줍니다.

From Parents' Choice?
In this soberly respectful, impressively researched and beautifully illustrated telling of the story of Joan of Arc, Diane Stanley has achieved a remarkable tour de force. Not only are her lucid acrylic paintings reminiscent of medieval manuscript illuminations both in their craftsmanship and spiritual content, but her words make us understand and sympathize with the religious faith and patriotic fervor of the Maid of Orleans. Every quote in her retelling of Joan's brave leadership of the French army to victory over the English is taken from the transcripts of Joan's eventual trial for heresy. Stanley makes us understand Joan's piety and the awesome achievements of this peasant girl, only 13 at the time of her first visions. This work is an admirable achievement. RECOMMENDED.
Publishers Weekly
Stanley orchestrates the complexities of history into a gripping, unusually challenging story in this exemplary biography. As much a portrait of an age as of a person, her work here carefully and accessibly establishes the context of Joan's life, explaining the Hundred Years' War and its impact on ordinary people. Judiciously chosen details build atmosphere in both the text and the artwork -- painstakingly wrought, gilded paintings modeled after the illuminated manuscripts of Joan's day. Providing a more rounded view than in Poole's biography, Stanley quotes Joan and her contemporaries (and cites her sources), describes pivotal moments in battle and insightfully chronicles Joan's trial, imprisonment, recantation, execution and posthumous rehabilitation. The immaculate paintings, too, testify to scrupulous research (cathedrals, weaponry, landscapes are accurately depicted) and artistry (for example, the paintings are shaped irregularly but symmetrically, like altarpieces). At the end, Stanley offers readers different theories about Joan's "voices," and concludes, "Sometimes, in studying history, we have to accept what we know and let the rest remain a mystery." Appealing to the audience's intelligence and imagination, this book stimulates an interest in both its particular subject, Joan of Arc, and history in general.
Ingram
At 13, Joan of Arc began to hear the voices of saints. At 17, she rode into battle. And by 19, she was burned at the stake as a heretic. Almost 500 years later, she was declared a saint. Diane Stanley tells Joan's story with a lively, carefully researched text and sumptuous, gilded illustrations inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of that time. Full color.
