Binding is sound. No marks in text. Minor wear on dust jacket which is now protected in mylar. . . . . . . . This Prelude is generally considered the major work of the author of Waiting for God. It was written in 1943 when Simone Weil, after a brief interlude in New York returned to Europe to help in the fight for the liberation of France. The Free French authorities in London, perhaps somewhat at a loss to find employment for a woman of genius, asked her to write a report containing recommendations for the renovation of the educational and governmental system in France after the war. The result was this extraordinary and revealing essay, a philosophical consideration of the whole question of man's essential needs. It is a serious work; a work requiring patience and thought from the reader, full of characteristic flashes of insight and brilliant penetration to the well springs of human conduct. In it the author seeks to set up a new conception of the citizen's duty.to himself, his fellow men, his country and God. -- Abby (Amazon Reader).
