The Story of Joan of Arc the Witch-Saint by M. M. Mangasarian
QR code
"The Story of Joan of Arc the Witch-Saint" by M. M. Mangasarian is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book explores the life and legacy of Joan of Arc, focusing on the tragic events surrounding her trial and execution as a heretic and her eventual canonization as a saint. Mangasarian aims to illuminate the contradictions and complexities involved in Joan's treatment by the Catholic Church. In this compelling
narrative, Mangasarian delves into the heroism of Joan of Arc, a young peasant girl who led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War, only to be captured, tried, and executed by the Church for her perceived heresy. The book critically examines the socio-political motives behind her condemnation, as well as the eventual posthumous recognition she received from the Church, highlighting the shifting perceptions of her legacy. Mangasarian opines that Joan's visions, while labeled as witchcraft, were reflections of her inner strength and resolve. Ultimately, the book serves as a powerful testament to Joan's enduring influence and the flawed nature of institutional authority in the context of faith and rationality.
