Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In the late 19th century, against the backdrop of rising anti-Semitism in Europe, journalist and political thinker Theodor Herzl proposed an idea that would ignite a revolution-the establishment of a sovereign Jewish homeland. The Jewish State is Herzl's seminal manifesto, articulating the urgent need for Jewish self-determination and outlining the practical steps to achieve it. Written with clarity, passion, and foresight, Herzl's proposal goes beyond political theory; it is a deeply personal and profoundly hopeful expression of national identity. He argues that the Jewish people, scattered and persecuted for centuries, have the right-and the ability to reclaim agency over their future. More than a historic document, The Jewish State remains a powerful exploration of nationalism, exile, and the human desire for belonging. It continues to inspire dialogue on homeland, diaspora, and the meaning of collective destiny.
