2nd edition. Period boards, 8vo, 20 cm x 15 cm. 100 pages. Originally written in Paris 1894. One of Herzl's last plays, 'The New Ghetto', is one of Herzl's few plays to contains Jewish characters, and deals directly with the Jewish Question, the unsuccessful emancipation and increasing anti-Semitism. This play is considered one of the most important and fundamental attempts of Herzl to discuss this issue before Zionism, and one of the major steps that led him eventually to establish Zionism. This was Herzl's first literary work which showed the ambivalence and lack of real security and equality of emancipated, well-to-do Jews in Vienna. Herzl dedicated the play to Max Nordau. Label with publishing details is pasted on title-page bottom edge (Wien, 1903, Buchdruckerei "Industrie"-Selbstverlag). Subjects: Plays – Zionism – Theodor Herzl. Very Good condition.
