""Rome and Jerusalem: A Study in Jewish Nationalism"" is a book written by Moses Hess that explores the historical and political relationship between the Jews and the Romans. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the political and economic situation of the Jews in Rome, while the second part focuses on the development of Jewish nationalism and the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. Hess argues that the Jews have a unique national identity and that they should have their own homeland. He also discusses the importance of Zionism and the role it could play in promoting Jewish unity and national pride. The book is considered a seminal work in the development of Jewish nationalism and has had a significant impact on the Zionist movement. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Jewish nationalism and the development of the Jewish state.1918. Moses Hess, a fascinating 19th-century German Jewish intellectual figure, was at times religious and secular, traditional and modern, practical and theoretical, socialist and nationalist. He was responsible for converting Engels to communism, and he early introduced Marx to social and economic problems. In Rome and Jerusalem, he imagines a new Jewry, one progressive and traditional, religious and socialist, nationalist and humanitarian. Hess also declared that the freeing and uniting of humanity was the mission of the Jewish people and urged the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
