'We shall live at last as free men on our own soil, and die
peacefully in our own homes' Theodor Herzl's passionate advocacy of
the founding of a Jewish state grew out of his conviction that Jews
would never be assimilated into the populations in which they
lived. Herzl concluded that the only solution for the majority of
Jews would be organised emigration to a state of their own. Herzl's
political and social plea was the result of centuries of
restrictions, hostility and pogroms against the Jews of Europe. His
revolutionary proposal for the solution to anti-Semitism was a
Jewish state, where Jews could live in peace, free from persecution
- and this hugely influential essay led directly to the creation of
Israel. GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed
the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and
each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.
They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have
enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the
works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries
whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
