Saint Joan: A Chronicle Play in Six Scenes and an Epilogue Audiobook

" One of my all-time favourite plays. "

" Shaw let his brain take a backseat to his soul on this one and consequently wrote his greatest play. "

" Shaw's introduction was interesting to read and helps the reader realize his understanding of Joan. The play itself is a very intriguing take of Joan that portrays her as a character who is human. While she is heroic, she is also humorous and has her own set of flaws. His depiction of the story is not as black and white as other adaptations make it out to be as well. There is definitely a blurring of good/evil that is set up as the play progresses. It would interesting to read this alongside other adaptations of Joan, both text and film, in a class to see how authors' interpretations vary. "

" Joan of Arc totally enthralls me. I really want to get some good texts on her. "

" Love Shaw's realistic, sarcastic, cynical take on Joan of Arc. Couldn't stop laughing, particularly at points that clearly had to make fanatics crazy. "

" An amazing work by GB Shaw. Beautiful flow of the story and more importantly a beautiful message on patriotism, valour, faith and love. Small book, yet packs the punch! "

" A very very short play that gives life to Joan of Arc. For anyone who already knows what happens to her, it's neat to see a her come alive with quirks, confidence, and passion. "

" This was a great introduction to the story of Joan of Arc. "

" Whether or not it is an accurate depiction of what went down in Joan of Ark's life, it was a great play to read and sparked me onto Bernard Shaw, whose work I've grown quite fond of. "

" I greatly preferred this to Pygmalion when I read it in high school. "

" halve boek over heb zitten schrujven "

" It is a very inspirational historical Drama! It is very rich with themes, symbols, motives.. It is about a woman doing what men at that time could not do! I personnally take Joan as a good example for women, for me.. "

" enjoyed language but not into religious subjects "

" This play is incredible. Joan's certainty of her mission and quick wits make for an exciting and touching show. It's fast paced and very funny...whodathunk? Joan is so spunky. I would love to see it, I've only read it. "

" Definitely a classic. Fascinating how Shaw presents Joan's story. Not the most entertaining read (since it's a play) but it would be interesting to see the stage performance version. "

" Shaw gave a dramatic rendition of Saint Joan's role in the French victory. "

" Listened to this on the way back to Missouri. Well done, interesting tidbits on Joan. She's a heroic figure, and this is a different way to learn more of her. "

" For Literature & Existentialism (cf. with Kierkegaard) "

" good. need to read it again "

" Like many others have posted. I am not a big fan of reading plays, but this one had me from the start. "

" It is quite funny in some parts =) I liked it a lot, has a very nice ending. "

" I think George Bernard Shaw has a habit of ruining plays with his epilogues. "

" I had to read this for my lit class and it was boring as hell "

" enjoyed language but not into religious subjects "
