- Abstract
In the book "Jeanne d'Arc. Seer - Warrior - Saint. A Biography" by Gerd Krumeich, the life of the famous French "pucelle" Jeanne d'Arc is told chronologically. The author addresses methodological problems of biography in general and writing about Jeanne d'Arc in particular. Krumeich tells the story of a girl who is born into war and translates her religious beliefs into political action. He describes the alliances, the war itself, the capture and condemnation of Jeanne d'Arc. The book is positively received by the feuilleton and specialist press and offers a professional and scientific biography.
