L'Etat des Juifs

"The writing of this book about Herzl's journalistic stories answers a need. Because Herzl's feuilletons have not been republished or even translated into English, it is timely in the words of the English scholar Edward Timms that an effort be made to fill this gap." "This gap is largely due to a misunderstanding about the content of his stories as being of relevance to Herzl's Zionist outlook. People have failed to recognize that Herzl "came to his task with the equipment of the perfect feuilletonist." According to Louis Lipsky, the noted American editor, and also Alex Bein, the biographer of Herzl, the journalistic stories were an apprenticeship preparing him for his Zionist work. To his readers' delight, he, Herzl, was able to capture scenery "in a few clear strokes." The lucidity of Herzl's language persuades Jacques Kornberg to suggest that Herzl's stylistic innovations come "close to the style of today's New Yorker magazine." The great variety of Herzl's interests which he presented to his readers assured him of a constant and faithful readership, who, like the authors Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig, were charmed by his always jourwitty and at times ironic writings that impress us with their relevance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Journalistic Stories

Originally published in 1896 as Der Judenstaat, The Jewish State has taken its place among the likes of The Communist Manifesto and Common Sense as polemic writings which have changed modern history. Theodor Herzl’s advocacy for a separate, independent Jewish state as a remedy for centuries of hostility and persecution served as the basis for modern Zionism. And though his vision would not be realized in his lifetime, it did set the course for the creation of the Israel we know today. This edition, based on the original translation to English by Sylvie D’Avigdor, includes an introduction by Alan Dershowitz, who is among Israel’s most prominent and most vocal scholars defenders. The Harvard law professor, who has been calledIsrael’s lead lawyer in the court of public opinion, discusses The Jewish State’s place in history and its impact today.
