Baron Edmond Rothschild: The Story Of A Practical Idealist is a biography written by David Druck that tells the story of one of the most influential figures in the history of Israel. The book chronicles the life of Baron Edmond de Rothschild, a French banker and philanthropist who played a pivotal role in the development of the Jewish state. Born into a wealthy family in 1845, Rothschild became interested in the Zionist movement in the late 19th century. He devoted his life and fortune to the cause of Jewish settlement in Palestine, financing numerous projects and providing financial support to Jewish immigrants. The book offers a detailed account of Rothschild's philanthropic work, including his establishment of the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association, which helped establish Jewish settlements throughout Palestine. The author also delves into Rothschild's personal life, exploring his relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues. Throughout the book, Druck portrays Rothschild as a practical idealist who was committed to the Zionist cause and worked tirelessly to make it a reality. The author also examines the political and social context of the time, providing readers with a broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Rothschild and the Zionist movement. Overall, Baron Edmond Rothschild: The Story Of A Practical Idealist is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds light on the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in the history of Israel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
