About this Item

1972 first edition hardback in good condition. Scarce. The first thirty pages are blighted by quite extensive ink marks, seemingly notes crossed out, in the margins of the preface and introduction. Happily, no text is affected, and after page xxxii of the introduction, the book is unmarked, clean and bright. Binding, is tight. The beige cloth boards are in excellent condition. In its original, price-clipped dust jacket with a little rubbing to edges, otherwise fine. Items are dispatched the same or the following working day. Please note our excellent customer feedback.

About this title

Synopsis

Gravity and Grace was 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 become a source of spiritual guidance and wisdom for countless individuals. On the fiftieth anniversary of the first English edition - by Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1952 - this Routledge Classics edition offers English readers the complete text of this landmark work for the first time ever, by incorporating a specially commissioned translation of the controversial chapter on Israel. Also previously untranslated is Gustave Thibon's postscript of 1990, which reminds us how privileged we are to be able to read a work which offers each reader such 'light for the spirit and nourishment for the soul'. This is a book that no one with a serious interest in the spiritual life can afford to be without.
