Simone Weil, the French philosopher, political activist, and
religious mystic, was little known when she died young in 1943.
Four years later the philosopher-farmer Gustave Thibon compiled La
pesanteur et la grâce from the notebooks she left in his keeping.
In 1952 this English translation accelerated the fame and influence
of Simone Weil. The striking aphorisms in Gravity and Grace
reflect the religious philosophy of Weil’s last years. Written at
the onset of World War II, when her health was deteriorating and
her left-wing social activism was giving way to spiritual
introspection, this masterwork makes clear why critics have called
Simone Weil “a great soul who might have become a saint” and
“the Outsider as saint, in an age of alienation.”
