Stolpe vividly creates the contemporary situation in France during Joan's time, evaluates the latest research on her life, and arrives at an original and authentic portrait - one that is also a work of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStolpe sees Joan of Arc as primarily a mystic, and her supreme achievement and lasting significance not so much in a mission to deliver France - though important - but in her sharing in the Passion of Christ. By shifting the emphasis from the national to the universal, Stolpe brings the saint closer to the modern reader. His scholarship is informed by a profound understanding and sympathy for the Maid, giving his essentially sober work the absorbing interest of a novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs one critic stated, \"Stolpe succeeds in producing a very tense interest, so that it is impossible to lay it aside until the last word is reached.\" This work should do much to present a new evaluation and appreciation of the life and mysticism of St. Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSven Stolpe\u003c\/b\u003e was a highly regarded Swedish writer and historian whose other works include \u003ci\u003eDag Hammarskjold: A Spiritual Portrait\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSound of a Distant Horn\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChristina of Sweden\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45809402446021,"sku":"9781586171520","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/uogEir2hgd9781586171520.webp?v=1770943014","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-maid-of-orleans-the-life-and-mysticism-of-joan-of-arc-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
