Autoemancipation, mahnruf an seine Stammesgenossen, von einem Russischen Juden [Autoemancipation, by a Russian Jew]. Berlin, 1882. First Edition.
Yehudah Leib Pinsker, 1821-1891, doctor, philosopher and Zionist activist, one of the founders of the Hibat Zion movement. Pinsker published this book anonymously in 1882. In the book he explains, that the dream of Jewish emancipation has no chance, because hate for Jews has become a mental illness among the nations, which he calls "Judophobia". Pinsker calls for the establishment of a Jewish National Homeland, preferably in Palestine as a solution for the Jewish problem. 36 pages, 23 cm. Good condition. Few stains, inscriptions in pencil. Binding not original.
