Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Rediscover the story of the inspirational Saint Joan of Arc with the classic play by George Bernard Shaw.</b> <p/> The historical saint begins her story as a simple country girl in fifteenth century France who is inspired by visions from God to help liberate her country from the English. She secures soldier's clothing and convinces the soon-to-be king, Charles, to begin battling for his country. <p/> Though her regiment succeeds in battle after battle, her enemies (the English) move against her. When Joan moves to liberate Paris from the English control--against the advice of her friends--she is captured and tried for heresy. Despite help from a Bishop and the Inquisitor, who truly want to see Joan succeed, her beliefs simply do not match with the Church; people do not hear visions from God, only from the church, therefore Joan must be possessed by demons. Subsequently, Joan is sentenced to death. <p/> Now read this beautiful new edition of the talented George Bernard Shaw's play, <i>Saint Joan</i>. Discover why the Catholic Church made this young woman into one of the most famous saints known today.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>George Bernard Shaw</b> was interested in music, art, and literature from a young age. After his attempts at writing novels failed miserably, Shaw went on to be a theatre critic with the <i>Saturday Review</i> in 1895. He soon started writing plays for the English stage, starting with the scandalous <i>Widowers' Houses</i>. Shaw is now known as one of the greatest playwrights in history, his most successful work being <i>Pygmalion</i> (1912), which was later adapted into the musical <i>My Fair Lady</i>, with the Broadway version (1956) starring Julie Andrews and the movie version (1964) starring Audrey Hepburn.
