2023.383.1Description
“Simone is a very real fifteen-year-old who, roused by the betrayal of France, strikes a very real blow against the German enemy and his French friends. But Simone is also a child of dreams, and when her captors confront her with her deed, she lives again in fancy the experiences of the Maid of Orleans. Love and renunciation, treachery and patriotism are woven by Feuchtwanger into a fabric that is singularly tense and affecting. The straightforward narrative of Simone and the legend of Joan of Arc merge imperceptibly, as the fate of one clarifies for the other her mission and destiny.” — back coverCreate Date
