Ahad Ha'am (\"One of the People\") was the pen name of Asher Ginzberg (1856-1927), a Russian Jew whose life intersected nearly every important trend and current in contemporary Jewry. A Hebrew essayist of extraordinary knowledge and skill, he exerted a rare, perhaps unequalled, authority through his writings on every controversial issue from Jewish nationalism and clericalism to the Palestinian Arab problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSteven Zipperstein offers all those interested in Israel and modern Jewish history a wide-ranging, perceptive reassessment of Ahad Ha'am's life against the backdrop of his contentious political world. This influential figure comes to life in a penetrating and engaging examination of his relations with his father, with Zionist leader Theodor Herzl, and with his devotees and opponents alike.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Elusive Prophet: Ahad Ha'am and the Origins of Zionism | Steven J Zipperstein | Hardcover | 9780520081116 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1788176","offer_id":67796519747736,"sku":"1788176","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/411DCPRX8CL.jpg?v=1792793772","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/elusive-prophet-ahad-haam-and-the-origins-of-zionism","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
