Description
Simone Weil's Venice Saved explores the realisation of her thoughts on tragedy. A figure of affliction, this play offers a unique insight into Weil's philosophical interest in truth and justice. The play depicts a plot by Spanish mercenaries to sack Venice in 1618, but it is the betrayal of one conspirator who betrays them due to compassion for the city's beauty that ultimately leads to their failure. This edition includes notes on the play by the translators, as well as introductory material on Weil's life and work. This volume provides a fresh perspective on tragedy and opens up an area of interest and research into the literary Weil.
