It was published six years after Herzl's political pamphlet, Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) 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 (Altnailand. Warsaw, 1902),[1] and into Hebrew by Nahum Sokolow as Tel Aviv (also Warsaw, 1902),[2] a name then adopted for the newly founded city.
