To a certain extent, his novel remains a puzzling act of devotion from a complicated man. For the great American author, there was no one like St. Joan. He marveled at her confidence in God\u2019s Will, her courage, her simplicity. And in her he saw an example for all time. We can hear Twain\u2019s own voice in the words of his narrator describing Joan: \u201cIt took six thousand years to produce her; her like will not be seen in the earth again in fifty thousand. Such is my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858.jpg\" alt=\"Icon of Joan of Arc\" class=\"wp-image-1853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858.jpg 700w, https:\/\/nikossteves.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/og-joan-of-arc-1858-300x154.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image of Joan of Arc from- thefamouspeople.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joan_of_Arc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joan of Arc &#8211; Detailed History (Wikipedia.com)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:90px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><em><strong>The Nikos Steves Mailing List<\/strong><\/em>:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-071822.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;  width:600px;}\n\t\/* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n    <form action=\"https:\/\/gmail.us9.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=8066b0b7e31bb63d6a069caf4&amp;id=91cfe1cfa3&amp;f_id=001405e1f0\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate=\"\">\n        <div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n        <h2>Subscribe for Updates!
