Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This decade has been rife with the publication, translation, and critical study of Weil, whom the current biographer aptly characterizes as "thinking, writing, and living" in simultaneous coincidence. Claimed by various devotees as religiously inspired and inspirational, philosophically astute, and politically prophetic, Weil as she is chronicled here seems a likely candidate for all these descriptions. Published in Italian in 1981, Fiori's work relies on Weil's own papers, interviews with her friends, and the scholarship that had been published by that time. This solid biography offers no particular revelation or slant on its subject but is satisfyingly comprehensive, cogently documented, skillfully translated, and probably useful to scholars as well as to general readers who may not be familiar with Weil. For most general collections.

Synopsis
"Simone Weil" traces the intellectual life of a woman whose "madness for truth", in the words of Albert Camus, allowed her "to understand, beyond her most natural prejudices, the illness of her approach and to discern the remedies". Born in 1909 in Paris, France, the second child of well-off Jewish parents, Simone Weil died in 1943 of self-starvation, leaving behind a collection of letters, notebooks, essays and poems that embodied the elements of her fiery, complex thought. Gabriella Fiori's biography of Simone Weil aims to set the woman and her thought within the context of her times. Fiori follows Weil from her childhood through her years in school, where she began to formulate the rigorous ideas that she later focused on a European world charged by war and revolution. As a teacher, activist, and worker, Weil felt every current that swept through Europe yet was carried away by none of them. Involved with unions and the Communist party, travelling to Germany to witness the rise of fascism and to Spain to fight with anarchists, Weil sought to pin each movement to the facts and to the truth of its ideals.
