Summary: The bull and the bees.
Comment: This is one of the grandest jokes in all of literature, if it isn't unique. All in all, you have a complicated structure where Twain plays a contemporary chronicler, feinted away with a gag scene on this personage as a faux poet, with somewhere toward the end the awful, imperishable story about the bee-stung bull.

Comment: "The Personal Recollections of Joan Of Arc"
In the novel "The Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc" a childhood friend, The Sieur Louis de Conte, tells of her adventures from beginning to end, as he remembers playing with her in childhood, standing by her in adulthood, and watching her in anguish because of his helplessness at the end. This book is one of Mark Twain's novels, and I think is one of his best. "Joan Of Arc" had a lot of action but hardly any gory or really gross bits to sicken a reader or destroy a good story. One example of that is when she speaks to nobles, lords, even the king himself with her passion for France and justice in her quest to free France. the spirtualness and human natures colliding in this story ,like when she was grilled by the church council and jury regarding Christ, war, people, and the miraculous happenings following her, making this a very exciting read, whether you like to skim the surface and just know the story, or if you would rather dive deep into the hidden messages of love, life, and liberty buried deep withen these words. The only thing I can count aginst this book is that 425 pages makes for a long read, but it's worth it. I recommend this book to someone who wouldn't mind being caught up in the wonderful balance of words and thought of "Joan Of Arc" for an afternoon. I really liked this book, and think that everyone should have the chance to enjoy it. Kudos to Mark Twain, I give your book 4 stars and two thumbs up.
