The Old New Land
Theodor Herzl
Original title
Altneuland
(German, 1902)
The Old New Land is a utopian novel published by Theodor Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, in 1902. It was published six years after Herzl's political pamphlet, Der Judenstaat and expanded on Herzl's vision for a Jewish return to the Land of Israel, which helped Altneuland become one of Zionism's establishing texts. It was translated into Yiddish by Israel Isidor Elyashev , and into Hebrew by Nahum Sokolow as Tel Aviv , a name then adopted for the newly founded city.
