It depends on the Jews themselves whether this political pamphlet remains for the present a political romance. If the present generation is too dull to understand it rightly, a future, finer and better generation will arise to understand it. The Jews who wish for a State shall have it, and they will deserve to have it.--Preface
Theodor Herzl's passionate advocacy of the founding of a Jewish state grew out of his conviction that Jews would never be assimilated into the populations in which they lived. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1860, Herzl encountered anti-Semitism when he attended a scientific secondary school. Later, as a newspaper correspondent in Paris, he was shocked and dismayed by the anti-Semitic prejudice surrounding the notorious Dreyfus affair (Herzl said in later years that it was the Dreyfus affair that had made a Zionist out of him). Herzl concluded that the only solution for the majority of Jews would be organized emigration to a state of their own.
He discussed the political and historic rationale for such a homeland in this extraordinary and influential book, first published as a pamphlet, Der Judenstaat, in Vienna in 1896. The Jewish question, he wrote, was not a social or religious question but a national question that could be solved only by making it a political world question to be discussed and settled by the civilized nations of the world in council. In 1897, at a world congress of Zionism, he declared, We want to lay the foundation stone for the house which will become the refuge of the Jewish nation. Zionism is the return to Judaism even before the return to the land of Israel.
The present volume is a complete and unabridged republication of The Jewish State, reproduced from the edition published by the American Zionist Emergency Council, New York, 1946. Translated by Sylvie D'Avigdor, it includes an introduction by Louis Lipsky, and a biography of Herzl based on the work of Alex Bein. For Jews, scholars, historians, anyone seeking to understand the history of the 20th century, The Jewish State is indispensable reading. This edition makes it widely available in an inexpensive high-quality format.

The Old New Land is a utopian novel by Theodor Herzl (1860 - 1904), the founder of political Zionism. Outlining Herzl's vision for a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, this book became one of Zionism's establishing texts. It was translated into Hebrew as Tel Aviv, which directly influenced the choice of the same name for the Jewish-Zionist Jaffa suburb founded in 1909, which was to become a major Israeli city. This book was originally published in 1902 in German as Altneuland.

The Old New Land is the classic utopian novel published by Theodor Herzl, who is in effect the father of Israel. A very well-written work of fiction, it also outlines Herzl's progressve vision for a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

The Jewish State is a classic Jewish history text by Theodor Herzl. It is astonishing how little insight into the science of economics many of the men who move in the midst of active life possess. Hence it is that even Jews faithfully repeat the cry of the Anti-Semites: We depend for sustenance on the nations who are our hosts, and if we had no hosts to support us we should die of starvation.

Old New Land forever altered the face of the Middle East. The book was a nineteenth-century utopian blueprint for a modern state of Israel. There were Jewish settlers in Palestine, and Zionist ideas had existed in Eastern Europe before Herzl, but Herzl made Zionism into a cultural and political movement acceptable to Western governments and intellectuals. His prophecy at the end of this book became reality: If you will it, it is not a fable.

The author, founder of the Zionist movement, considered this utopian story his best literary work: an expression of his art, with a political message. His biographer, Amos Elon, placed Old New Land in the mainstream of fin-de-si cle art. Its pursuit of arcadian bliss within a mystic community and its haunted preoccupation with dreams recall Gustav Mahler's music.

Theodor Herzl was born in 1860 in Budapest, Hungary, and raised by an Orthodox Jewish father and an unobservant Jewish mother. It was quite a journey from there to becoming the founder of the World Zionist Organization and an influential figure in the establishment of the state of Israel. Fueled by anti-Semitic attitudes of late-nineteenth-century Europe, Herzl promoted the concept of an entirely Jewish state, a homeland for Jewish people, in Palestine. He published The Jewish State in 1896, in which he outlined a theory to employ diplomacy to get other powerful nations to support the foundation of such a nation, and thereby liberate the Jews from a constant state of poverty and repression. This work has been reprinted in over eighty editions, in over eighteen different languages, and has been an integral force in the promotion of a Jewish national identity.

Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) is a pamphlet written by Theodor Herzl. It is considered one of the most important texts of early Zionism. As expressed in this book, Herzl envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century. He argued that the best way to avoid antisemitism in Europe was to create this independent Jewish state.

The Old New Land (or Altneuland in the original German) is a utopian novel published by Theodor Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, in 1902. Outlining Herzl's vision for a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, Altneuland became one of Zionism's establishing texts.

Der Judenstaat. Versuch einer modernen L sung der Judenfrage ist ein Buch von Theodor Herzl, mit dem er versuchte, eine j dische Antwort auf die damals so genannte Judenfrage aufzuzeigen. Herzl schrieb es unter dem Eindruck der Dreyfus-Aff re; er beendete das Manuskript am 17. Juni 1895. Den Grund f r den seiner Ansicht nach wachsenden Antisemitismus sieht er in der mangelnden sozialen Mobilit t, die durch Benachteiligungen der Juden entsteht. Eine totale soziologische Assimilation lehnt Herzl jedoch ab, da die j dische Volkspers nlichkeit geschichtlich zu ber hmt und trotz aller Erniedrigungen zu hoch sei. Sie sei zu wertvoll f r den Untergang. Davon abgesehen sei eine Assimilation nur dann m glich, wenn man die Juden einmal f r zwei Generationen in Ruhe lie e. Dies w rde aber nicht passieren, worauf der Druck sie wieder an den alten Stamm presse, der Hass ihrer Umgebung mache sie wieder zu Fremden. Theodor Herzl (1860-1904) war ein sterreichisch-ungarischer Schriftsteller j discher Herkunft, Publizist und Journalist und der Begr nder des modernen politischen Zionismus. Er gilt deshalb als der zentrale Vordenker und zugleich als aktiver Wegbereiter eines modernen Judenstaats, der sp ter in Form des modernen Staates Israel Realit t wurde.

Der Judenstaat. Versuch einer modernen L sung der Judenfrage ist ein Buch von Theodor Herzl, mit dem er versuchte, eine j dische Antwort auf die damals so genannte Judenfrage aufzuzeigen. Der Judenstaat ist kein religi ses Werk, es hat vielmehr das moderne Judentum ma geblich politisch beeinflusst, indem es das Fundament des politischen Zionismus legte. F r Herzl war ein Judenstaat einerseits wegen des weltweit vorhandenen Antisemitismus notwendig, andererseits weil die Religion durch die Folgen der Aufkl rung und der Emanzipation ihren identit tsstiftenden und verbindenden Charakter f r das Judentum verloren habe. Herzl sah sein Werk nicht als Utopie, sondern als pragmatisches Konzept zur Gr ndung und Bewahrung eines Judenstaates, wodurch die Judenfrage beantwortet sei.

First published in German in 1896, The Jewish State is the important political treatise arguing in favor of creating an independent Jewish country by Theodor Herzl, the Austro-Hungarian playwright, journalist and political activist. Herzel was born in 1860 in Budapest, Hungary, and raised by an Orthodox Jewish father and an unobservant Jewish mother. He became the founder of the World Zionist Organization and was such an influential figure in the establishment of the state of Israel that he is often considered the father of modern political Zionism. Fueled by anti-Semitic attitudes of late-nineteenth-century Europe, Herzl promoted the concept of an entirely Jewish state, or an independent homeland for Jewish people, and encouraged the immigration of Jewish people to Palestine. In The Jewish State Herzl outlined a theory to employ diplomacy in order to get other powerful nations to support the foundation of an independent Jewish nation and thereby liberate the Jews from a constant state of poverty and repression. This work has been reprinted in over eighty editions, in over eighteen different languages, and has been an integral force in the promotion of a Jewish national identity. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Quality, well-presented hardcover edition of a historical classic, suitable for libraries, bookshelves, gifting, and appreciation of its immeasurable global impact--featuring an all-new introduction. Few books have changed human history as did Theodor Herzl's 1896 tract advocating the founding--even the inevitability--of a Jewish state. The new edition from Quid Pro Books adds a Foreword by Jerold S. Auerbach, Professor Emeritus of History at Wellesley College and recognized as a leading scholar in the U.S. on Judaism in America and Israeli history. Auerbach's extensive introduction brings home the importance and complexities of this historic work, of this visionary man. - Founder of the World Zionist Organization and an Austrian intellectual, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904) recognized that Jews would never be truly assimilated in any country they settled in, even over the course of centuries, and could only find a home in their own nation. More than that, creating a new Jewish state would provide the opportunity to evolve it under advanced Western democratic ideals and structures. The earth resounds with outcries against the Jews, Herzl wrote, and these outcries have awakened the slumbering idea. The idea was a very old one: the restoration of the Jewish State.? The old idea was given a new voice and Utopian contours by Herzl. - Translated to English in this 1904 version (from the 1896 original, Der Judenstaat) and supplemented further with notes and a preface by Jacob De Haas in 1917, this version recounts steps that Herzl and others had taken after 1896 toward persuading world leaders of the necessity of creating a Jewish homeland in what is present-day Israel. Adding the 2014 introductory essay by Professor Auerbach, the Quid Pro Books edition is a modern, professional presentation with accurate republication of an early and accepted translation of this historic work. - Part of the History & Heroes Series from Quid Pro Books.
