Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In an exquisite English translation from the bestselling French edition, Joan of Arc: Her Story now appears for American readers. From the French peasant girl who led an army to the icon burned at the stake, Joan has been a blank slate on which thousands have written. Pernoud and Clin clear away the myths so that modern readers can see Joan as she was and include a glossary of important individuals, historical events and interpretations of Joan through the ages. Joan of Arc: Her Story is the thrilling life of a woman who obsesses us even to this day.

Review:

“Adams has performed a great service by translating and revising this best-selling French chronicle of the life and legacy of Joan of Arc.” Booklist (starred review)

“This Joan of Arc makes you want to be there to witness it all!” Le Monde

Synopsis:

In a distinguished English translation, the bestselling French book now considered the standard biography of Joan published just in time for the upcoming film by Luc Besson.

Synopsis:

The Titus Crow novels are full of acts of nobility and heroism. Titus Crow and his faithful companion fight the forces of darkness--the infamous and deadly Elder Gods of H.P. Lovecraft--wherever they arise. The powerful Cthulhu and his dark minions are bent on ruling the earth--or destroying it, yet time after time, Titus Crow drives the monsters back into the dark from whence they came.


Volume Three contains two full novels, In the Moons of Borea and Elysia.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [286]-294) and index.
