Do you want to read a book about burning a 19 year old girl alive at the stake? If so, allow me to introduce you to this Mark Twain book: Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc.
The first part of Joan’s story begins in Domremy in 1410. The children in the village dance with fairies around their favorite tree. Fantastic summer fun of frolic and jocularity, the fairies keep the stinging insects away and delight in the purity of the children’s company, especially Joan of Arc’s extreme piety and perfection.
Then somebody complains about the fairies and the priest of Domremy banishes the fairies away from the tree back to hell where they belong. Some kind of foreshadow going on here.
Joan is visited by the Archageal Michael who tells her to raise an army and return France to the rightful king, banishing the goddamn English for at least one thousand years. So begins the second part of the story.
Here’s a 17 year old illiterate girl who knows nothing of wars or even how to ride a horse. Joan of Arc, we are to believe, raises an army of frightened French troops who have been trounced by The English for the last one hundred years (The One Hundred Years War).
She proceeds to esteem herself with the old time Generals and lead several battles of victory, regaining cities that were in the hands of The Goddamn English for nearly a century.
The third part of the story is the difficult, dungeon, death, fire and brimstone part. Joan is captured and sold to The Goddamn English. She is put through many ridiculous ‘trials’ that attempt to prove her prophetic voices were in league with Satan. Her attire of male battle dress is strictly forbidden by the church and therefore she must be burned up at the stake. The Holy Church seeking justice in the blowing smoke of burning flesh.
Yes, it appears Joan of Arc was burned to death for wearing pants. Have a nice day.
Some of my highlights:
Chapter 326: Chapter 4 Joan Tames the Mad Man
Annotation
Chapter progress: 18.82%
Highlight: I tried to think up some good way of explaining why I had run away and left a little girl at the mercy of a maniac armed with an ax, but all of the explanations that offered themselves to me seemed so cheap and shabby that I gave the matter up and remained still.
Notes: On allowing the children in face mask for remainder of life. CDC god fornication.
Chapter 327: Chapter 5 Domremy Pillaged and Burned
Annotation
Chapter progress: 18.85%
Highlight: “I would I might see thy head struck from thy body!” — then, after a pause, and crossing herself— “if it were the will of God.
Notes: A young Joan of Arc to Bill Gates
Chapter 327: Chapter 5 Domremy Pillaged and Burned
Annotation
Chapter progress: 18.86%
Highlight: For it was so ordered that the very ones among us who were most fascinated with mutilated and bloody death were to live their lives in peace, while that other, who had a native and deep horror of it, must presently go forth and have it as a familiar spectacle every day on the field of battle.
Notes: The screen zombies will not fight yet be content with their debauchery.
Chapter 328: Chapter 6 Joan and Archangel Michael
Annotation
Chapter progress: 18.92%
Highlight: Joan, I have been thinking the thing all over last night, and have concluded that we have been in the wrong all this time; that the case of France is desperate; that it has been desperate ever since Agincourt; and that to-day it is more than desperate, it is hopeless.
Notes: On the hopeless United States
Chapter 328: Chapter 6 Joan and Archangel Michael
Annotation
Chapter progress: 18.92%
Highlight: They speak as plainly as the figures in a merchant’s account-book. One has only to add the two columns up to see that the French house is bankrupt, that one-half of its property is already in the English sheriff’s hands and the other half in nobody’s — except those of irresponsible raiders and robbers confessing allegiance to nobody.
Notes: On the United States being owned by the CCP and Bill Gates.
Chapter 335: Chapter 4 Joan Leads Us Through the Enemy
Annotation
Chapter progress: 19.26%
Highlight: She would sacrifice herself — and her best self; that is, her truthfulness — to save her cause; but only that; she would not buy her life at that cost; whereas our war-ethics permitted the purchase of our lives, or any mere military advantage, small or great, by deception.
Notes: Sacrificing honor for the cause

Annotation
Chapter progress: 19.32%
Highlight: It is a marvel that any man in such desperate case as is the King can moon around in this torpid way, and see his all go to ruin without lifting a finger to stay the disaster.
Notes: Death to the united states under the scourge of CDC and WHO tyranny
Chapter 336: Chapter 5 We Pierce the Last Ambuscades
Annotation
Chapter progress: 19.37%
Highlight: If an enemy carried these in the right words, the exact words, and no word missing, yet left out the persuasions of gesture and supplicating tone and beseeching looks that inform the words and make them live, where were the value of that argument — whom could it convince?

Annotation

Annotation
Chapter progress: 19.94%
Highlight: it was then that you saw that she was too beautiful to be of the earth, or at any rate that there was a subtle something somewhere about her beauty that differed it from the human types of your experience and exalted it above them.

Annotation
Chapter progress: 20.7%
Highlight: How did she know it? It was simple: she was a peasant. That tells the whole story. She was of the people and knew the people; those others moved in a loftier sphere and knew nothing much about them.
Notes: The ignorant nobles.

Annotation
Chapter progress: 20.88%
Highlight: They could not unglue their minds from those grandeurs, and were always wrenching the conversation out of its groove and dragging the matter of animals into it, so that they could say “my horse” here, and “my horse” there and yonder and all around, and taste the words and lick their chops over them, and spread their legs and hitch their thumbs in their armpits, and feel as the good God feels when He looks out on His fleets of constellations plowing the awful deeps of space and reflects with satisfaction that they are His — all His.

Annotation
Chapter progress: 21.75%

Notes: The church burned Joan of Arc at the stake for wearing pants.
