Preceded by the U.K. first edition the same year. Quite presentable copy of Weil's posthumously-published masterpiece written in London the year before her death from self-inflicted starvation published in French as L'Enracinement: prélude à une déclaration des devoirs envers l'être humain Paris: Gallimard 1949. Perhaps owing somewhat to Eliot's effusive preface this rather difficult work of social theory begun as an analysis of France's capitulation to the Nazis during the Vichy period achieved a large English-language readership though as with its clear analogue Arendt's The Human Condition it's unclear how much the book was actually read by those who discussed it. Regardless The Need For Roots remains one of the essential works of the post-war period. Never out of print but quite hard to find in the first edition. G.P. Putnam's Sons unknown books

In 1924 he founded with Hans Taeuber the firm of Taeuber & Weil in Munich; in 1933 he moved his family to London where he entered into partnership with E. P. Goldschmidt. In 1943 he began selling books under his own name issuing 33 catalogues before his death in 1965. Although modestly produced his catalogues contain much research and original observation particularly on hitherto ignored medical and scientific books. See E.
