The need for roots; prelude to a declaration of duties toward mankind by
Simone Weil(
Book
)
133 editions published between 1949 and 2021 in 10 languages and held by 1,870 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Hailed by Andre Gide as the patron saint of all outsiders, Simone Well's short life was ample testimony to her beliefs. In 1943, the final year of her life, unable to join the resistance movement in France, she worked in London for the Free French government in exile. Here she was commissioned to outline a plan for the renewal of Europe after the scourge of Nazism. The Need for Roots was the direct result. In it she seized the opportunity to denounce the false values of contemporary civilization. In the cult of materialism she witnessed a devastating loss of spirit and consequently of human values. To counteract this she sets out a radical vision for spiritual and political renewal with a passion for truth which sweeps through these pages. The book has become a lasting spiritual testament for our age, where we are confronted, as T.S. Eliot comments, by a genius akin to that of the saints."--Jacket

La 4ème de couv. indique : "Il ne s'agit pas ici de philosophie, mais de vie", écrivait Gustave Thibon, en 1948, en présentant ce recueil de pensées tirées des manuscrits que Simone Weil lui avait confiés. Dès sa parution, ce livre a eu un "effet" qui ne devait pas s'estomper. Pour ses lecteurs, il fait partie des rencontres primordiales : un de ces quelques livres qui ne vous abandonnent pas sur le chemin de la vie. Les textes "nus et simples" de Simone Weil traduisent une expérience intérieure d'une authenticité et d'une exigence peu communes."
