Description
Gravity and Grace used to be the first ever publication by the remarkable thinker and activist, Simone Weil. In it Gustave Thibon, the farmer to whom she had entrusted her notebooks before her untimely death, compiled in one remarkable volume a compendium of her writings that have turn out to be a source of spiritual guidance and wisdom for countless individuals. At the fiftieth anniversary of the first English edition – by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1952 – this Routledge Classics edition offers English readers your entire text of this landmark work for the first time ever, by incorporating a specially commissioned translation of the controversial chapter on Israel. Also up to now untranslated is Gustave Thibon’s postscript of 1990, which reminds us how privileged we are as a way to read a work which offers every reader such ‘light for the spirit and nourishment for the soul’. This can be a book that no person with a serious interest in the spiritual life can manage to pay for to be without.
