Project Gutenberg 2014-04-24 Public domain in the USA. 236 Mangasarian, M. M. (Mangasar Mugurditch) 1859 1943 Mangasarian, Mangasar Mugurditch The Story of Joan of Arc the Witch-Saint Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "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.
