Theodor Herzl - philosophical stories. Berlin, 1900 - First Edition
Philosophische Erzählungen - philosophical stories, by Theodor Herzl. Berlin 1900 - 1st edition. German.
17 stories written by Herzl from 1887 until his departure for Paris in 1892 as a correspondent for the Viennese newspaper "Neue Freie Presse" and after his return to Vienna in 1895. In the stories, Herzl expresses his attitude toward progress and technology, as well as his views on human suffering and morality, on the masses and individuals, on society and the state, on pleasure and duty, on the love of a man for a woman and parents for their children. Herzl's own casual environment and life experiences are usually the starting points of the stories, and they are a kind of mirror of Herzl's path first and foremost to himself, and then to the acknowledgement of human hardships in general and the plight of the Jews in particular, and from here he discusses the Jewish question in all its severity.
