Petrement, Simone

Simone Weil : A Life / Simone Petrement / Translated from the French Raymond Rosenthal - New York : Schocken Books , c1976. - 577 p. ; 25 cm.

"The extraordinary mind of Simone Weil is surely one of the most neglected resources of our century. In the depth and synthesis of her learning and the breadth of her sympathies, she fuses politics and spirituality, history and ethics, economics and psychology, poetics and physics. I believe her life and thought will only come clear to us when we begin to ask what it meant to be a woman of her genius and disposition." Adrienne Rich, book jacket
