"Altneuland" - First Edition - Leipzig, 1902
Altneuland, Roman von Theodor Herzl. Leipzig: Hermann Seemann Nachfolger, [1902]. German. First edition.
Utopian novel. Herzl describes his vision of a future Jewish state in Eretz Israel. The book was published several years after the publication of Herzl's book "The Jewish State", and after his visit to Eretz Israel. Herzl wrote the novel during the years 1899-1902 and titled the manuscript "New Zion". Later, inspired by "Altneuschul" - the name of the Prague synagogue - Herzl changed the title to "Altneuland". The book was translated into Yiddish and Hebrew in the same year (translator Nahum Sokolow decided to name the book "Tel-Aviv", later adopted as the name of the first Jewish city) and within less than a year it was translated to six languages. The famous Moto "Wenn Ihr wollt, Ist es kein Märchen" - "If you will it - it is no dream" is printed on the title page. [3], 343, [5] pp, 18 cm. Good condition. Foxing and damp staining. Old and worn cloth and cardboard covers. New Spine. One loose signature. Handwritten dedication on the page preceding the title page (dated 1914).
