Sefer Bar Hadya, or Herzl's dream by Dov Ber (Doverush) Tursh. Warsaw, 1899.
"As Hadya [a dreams interpreter], I will prove that the idea of settling Eretz Israel declared by Theodor Herzl and Max Nordau and their meetings in Basel, is a weightless movement flying on the imagination's wings…". A composition disgracing Herzl and Nordau and the way they led the Zionist Movement. On the last page of the book – the owner added an interesting "confession" by the author, which was published in Eretz Israel newspapers: "I admit that all the words of contempt about the author… printed in one of the letters which appeared in "Stirat Zekenim" which I myself printed and published, were just lies and I apologize to the author…". 78 pp, 21.5 cm. Good condition. Portrait is missing. Stains.
