    About this ebook

    Ahad Ha'am is mainly remembered as the 'father of cultural Zionism.' But these essays show him to be a major literary figure and an original thinker. His ideas have relevance today, both for confronting the future of Israel and Palestine, and for thinking about cultural pluralism in a democratic society.
