Saint inspired by God or simple heroine of patriotism, Joan of Arc is the first incarnation of France. But do we know who was this young girl from Lorraine who, in just two years, reversed the course of history, liberated Orléans, stopped the English on the Loire, had the Dauphin Charles crowned in Reims and restored royal legitimacy? Here is the true story of Joan. Between legend and historical truth, the novelist Peyramaure rediscovers all the grandeur and poetry of this unique character and helps us understand this extraordinary destiny. We are at the beginning of the 15th century. Two sovereigns share France. One, Henry, is English, the other, Charles, is still only "the little king of Bourges."
