In the beginning was the Word -- By angels' speech and tongue -- A small, nay, the least, thing -- The king's treasure -- Who is this then, that wind and seas obey? -- Surrender to the maid -- A leaping stag -- Black horseman -- The golden cloak -- The tower keep -- A heart that would not burn -- Life everlasting.
A fully documented, inspiring portrait of the 15th-century peasant-turned-saint draws on historical facts, folklore and centuries of critical interpretation to evaluate the questions attributed to her character.
