Opis

"This is an exceptionally moving story of the French people during World War I. Raymond Jonas describes the visions of a young peasant woman and the ways in which they catapulted her to local and then national fame. The story is so well told it is almost impossible to put down, and one is amazed at the combination of narrative power and scholarship. A deep pleasure to read"--Bonnie G. Smith, author of "The Gender of History: Men, Women, and Historical Practice"This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of spirituality and religion in the modern world. It is especially fine in demonstrating the multiple ways in which gender, religion, and politics have been intertwined in France."--Judith Stone, author of "Sons of the Revolution: Reform Legislation in France, 1890-1914
