About the Author
Simone Weil (1909-1943) was one of the twentieth century's most profound thinkers. In her early years, she was known for her brilliant and biting social commentary, and especially for the year she spent working in three Paris factories. After three profound religious experiences, she did not abandon her work on social problems, but also began to write truly original and penetrating religious and philosophical works that still bear on our times, writings that were only published after her death.

Original Red Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1970. xiv, 368pp. Translated by Richard Rees. " . her notebooks simply contain Weil's aphoristic writing at its best in its most striking presentation. For that reason alone, the last two notebooks, which she wrote while in New York and London in 1942-43, published in French as "La Connaissance surnaturel" ("Supernatural Knowledge") have been read as books of great wisdom. This volume also includes her first notebook from the year 1934, not long after her time in the factory and its subject matter reflects this period in her life." Publisher's red cloth with gilt titles to spine. The case of the book is in excellent condition. Light foxing to edges. Neat gift inscription to title page. In a price clipped dust jacket with slight sunning to the spine and light wear to edges. Now in a clear, removable plastic protector. Seller Inventory # hLitWeil01
