WEIL, Simone

Much of Simone Weil's relatively short life was spent in direct engagement with the interests of others – farm labourers, Renault car factory workers, republican fighters in the Spanish Civil War, students in school, French resistance movement in London. A continual seeking after how to be good led her to starvation whilst identifying with the afflictions of World War 2 victims. The intimacy and intensity of her moral passion and resistance to evil in all its forms comes over powerfully from her writing.
