About the Book

English summary: On 21 February 1431, one of the most fascinating and decisive trials in all history began: that of Joan of Arc.Less than one hundred days later, this young girl of 19, allegedly illiterate, subject to hallucinations and a heretic, would be condemned to be burned alive.From the very first interrogation, the judges hammered away at her, determined to bring her to her knees.Even as she spoke her first words, Joan, standing alone at the bar, foiled the traps laid by the clergymen and prosecutors. Her tone of voice was so carefree, witty, and full of humour, that the power of her sincerity caught them off guard.The voices - since they were what would determine her fate - echoed through the courtroom.For the next one hundred days, an eternal fight for truth played out in this cold courtroom.Jacques Tremolet de Villers, a litigator in some of the most noteworthy political trials of the last decades, decrypts the words exchanged and gives us his voice-off, day-by-day commentary. He brings the reader into the courtroom, clarifies each party's convictions, and above all so intimately conveys Joan's incredible courage, that we actually fear the outcome.The full transcript of the trial - the only testimony which allows us to truly understand Joan's character - has been meticulously formulated on the basis of authentic documents (the minutes conserved in Latin and in French), authenticated by the most reliable sources, and supplemented by depositions from the nullification trial. French description: Le 21 fevrier 1431 s'ouvre l'un des plus fascinants et decisifs proces de l'Histoire: celui de Jeanne d'Arc.Cette jeune fille de 19 ans, pretendue analphabete, hallucinee, heretique, sera en moins de cent jours condamnee a etre brulee vive.Des le premier interrogatoire, les juges, Cauchon en tete, assenent les coups. Ils sont abbes, docteurs en theologie, familiers du droit canon, decides a la faire plier.Des sa premiere parole, Jeanne, seule a la barre, dejoue les pieges des hommes d'Eglise et de loi. Elle fait preuve d'un ton libertaire, habile et plein d'humour qui les destabilise par la force de sa sincerite.Les voix, puisque c'est la l'essentiel, portent.Cent jours durant, va se jouer, en cette froide salle d'audience, l'eternel combat de la verite.Tout proces se conclut des la premiere audience. Jacques Tremolet de Villers, plaideur des plus importants proces politiques de ces dernieres decennies, decrypte les paroles echangees et nous livre, en voix off, son commentaire jour apres jour.Il introduit son lecteur dans la salle, lui fait comprendre les convictions des parties, et surtout lui fait saisir le courage sensible du personnage de Jeanne, jusqu'a craindre l'issue...ll y a du bon dans la procedure. Elle conserve, comme des pierres precieuses dans une chasse, un veritable tresor, et demeure en derniere analyse la seule raison serieuse d'organiser la justice des hommes. Le texte integral du proces, seul temoignage a faire veritablement entendre Jeanne, a ete elabore, de facon minutieuse, a partir des actes authentiques (les minutes conservees en latin et en francais), verifies aux meilleures sources et completes par les depositions du proces d'annulation.Jacques Tremolet de Villers a plaide de nombreuses affaires civiles et penales a caractere politique, ideologique et mediatique. Ecrivain, il a publie une biographie du celebre avocat du XIXe siecle Pierre-Antoine Berryer, Aux marches du palais, de meme que Heureux qui comme Ulysse, commentaire de son anthologie de la poesie francaise Vingt-quatre poemes que nous devrions savoir par coeur pour les dire a nos enfants. Il poursuit son travail avec cet Evangile selon Pilate qu'est le proces de Jeanne d'Arc.
