Description: L'Alouette by Jean Anouilh Paperback Le Livre De Poche 1953 Joan of ArcWritten in FrenchL'Alouette is a play written by French playwright Jean Anouilh in the 1950s, telling the story of Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc)It is written as a play-within-a-play. During her trial for heresy, there are flashbacks in which Jeanne replays key scenes of her life and mission to save France from the "godons" (goddamned English) during the Hundred Years War. One of the keys to the authenticity of Anouilh's voice is that he used the original transcripts of her trial in the 1400s to get it right. Supposedly in the course of writing the play, Anouilh fell in love with the character of Jeanne and was unable to bring himself to kill her in the end. So, the ending is both a surprise and a tale of the indomitability of Jean's faith. GREAT CONDITION! No tears or writing.
