Binding: Printed paper wraps, staple-bound. , Notes: Theodor Herzl (1860 – 1904) was a Hungarian Jewish journalist and lawyer who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine, which, in the late 19th century was part of the Ottoman Empire, in an effort to form a Jewish state. Due to his Zionist work, he is known in Hebrew as Chozeh HaMedinah (חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה), lit. 'Visionary of the State'. He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State".
Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873 –1934) was a Russian-Jewish poet who wrote primarily in Hebrew and Yiddish. Bialik is considered a pioneer of modern Hebrew poetry, part of the vanguard of Jewish thinkers who gave voice to the new spirit of the time in the Jewish world. He is recognized today as Israel's national poet. Aside from his work as an essayist, poet and story-teller, Bialik translated major works from European languages into Hebrew.
