Warsaw : Tushiya, 1896. 82 pp. Hardcover.  20 cm., yellowing leaves, aging stains, rubbings on cover and spine, slight damages on spine. Old and rare library stamps. Few handwritten marks by pencil. Unidentified handwritten signature on the last page! ”The Jews State” book is not merely an ideological treatise, but a detailed and practical action plan aimed at breaking down Herzl’s Zionist vision into actionable steps. In the introduction to the work, Herzl presents a broad theoretical concept for solving the situation of the Jewish people, while the concluding chapter is dedicated to outlining the contours of the future state. Herzl's foundational view is that the Jews have been left behind, trapped within the reality of the ghetto - while the rest of the world's nations marched forward - with the exception of a negligible minority exposed to the Enlightenment movement. Consequently, the central aspiration of his work is to extricate the Jewish people from this stagnation and restore them to the pace of world development and history. Good Condition.
