Old New Land (Altneuland)

Set in the Land of Israel, this utopian novel presents Theodor Herzl's vision for a Jewish state, making it a foundational text for political Zionism. Originally published in German in 1902, it was later translated into Hebrew as Tel Aviv, influencing the naming of the Jewish-Zionist suburb established in 1909. Herzl's ideas in this work continue to resonate in discussions about national identity and statehood.
