It seems like we’re on the precipice of radical innovations - but amid those leaps forward in speed and scale, how should we consider the direction of innovation?

Only toward the end of his life did she rise to the visible surface of the author’s preoccupations, with his public declaration of admiration in the 1903 essay “Saint Joan of Arc” (first published in Harper’s Monthly in December 1904).ĢTwain’s late-revealed interest in Joan must have been a bit of a surprise. Accustomed to the comic talent of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, the general reader was not yet aware that Mark Twain had been enthralled by the story of Joan of Arc as an adolescent. To the surprise of the public who discovered only belatedly that the text was not what it said it was – Jean-François Alden’s translation into contemporary English of the medieval French testimony of The Sieur Louis de Conte – the greater shock was that the author, an avowed skeptic, could portray so religious a subject. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented in a workshop session organized by Ronald Jenn and B (.)ġMark Twain’s historical novel Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by The Sieur Louis de Conte was serialized in 1895, then published in 1896 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() Following Joel's breakthrough as a popular musician with the release of The Stranger, it became one of his most well-known songs. ![]() Joel's first major hit and his signature song, "Piano Man" peaked at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1974.

The song is sung from Joel's point of view as a piano player at a bar, reminiscing about his experiences there and the people he encountered. ![]() As his first single in North America, it was included on Joel's 1973 album of the same name and later released as a single on November 2, 1973.
