Herzl, Theodor (1860-1904)
Der Judenstaat.

Vienna: Breitenstein, 1896.

Second edition, octavo, in card-stock boards with paper spine, title dusty, a little tear inside the gutter from an errant sewing thread, 8 3/4 x 5 3/4 in.

Herzl was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and activist who came up with the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. Although he did not live to see the establishment of the Israeli state, he describes the need to establish such a Jewish homeland in the present work. This second edition was published in the same year as the first.
