History

Dar Alfarabi was founded in 1956 in Beirut. From its founding until the start of the civil war in 1975, it produced about 40 titles annually. During the civil war (1975-1990), production was limited to some local and translated books and distribution. In the post-war period (1990-1995), production was unstable due to the economic crisis. In the current phase (1996-2020), production increased from 30 titles per year to about 200 titles in 2019. In 2020, the situation was affected by the economic crisis in Lebanon and the COVID-19 pandemic.
