Simone Weil (1909-1943). One of the most original philosophical, religious and political thinkers of the twentieth century.
'Time and again she pierces the veil of complacency and brings the reader face to face with the deepest levels of existence.' - Church Times 'At the twilight of a century whose accelerated history has led to the rise and fall of so many idols, this book increasingly appears like a message from eternity.' - Gustave Thibon 'One of the most profound religious thinkers of modern times.' - The Twentieth Century, 1961 'We must simply expose ourselves to the personality of a woman of genius, of a kind of genius akin to that of the saints.' - T. S. Eliot 'The light Simone shines makes everything seem, at once, reasurringly recognizable and so luminous as to be heavenly.' - Malcom Muggeridge 'In France she is ranked with Pascal by some, condemned as a dangerous heretic by others, and recognized as a genius by all.' - New York Times Book Review 'The best spiritual writer of this century ... she said it was her vocation to stand at the intersection of Christians and non-Christians. She thus becomes the patron saint of all outsiders .' - Andre Gide
