Egyptian-Lebanese Publishing House

Egyptian-Lebanese Publishing House, also known as the Egyptian-Lebanese House, is an Egyptian publisher established in 1985. The house publishes Arabic-language literary and cultural works alongside books in religious studies, history, criticism, poetry, travel and etiquette, anecdotes, children’s literature, essays, reflections, and marketing. Its fiction list includes historical, social, detective, philosophical, and psychological-horror novels. This range places the publisher within the broad general-interest Arabic publishing sector rather than a narrowly specialized academic or genre imprint. The publisher’s program has included works by a number of recognized contemporary and modern Arabic authors, including Kahlil Gibran, Ihsan Abdel Quddous, Ashraf El-Ashmawy, Walaa Kamal, and Radwa El Aswad. The available reference material does not provide a complete catalogue, publication quantities, distribution data, ownership structure, or detailed information about individual imprints. It does, however, describe the house as having participated in local and international book fairs, indicating that its activities extend beyond book production to literary and trade events that connect Egyptian publishing with wider Arabic-language markets. History is identified as one of the publisher’s prominent subject areas, while its catalogue also covers critical studies and other nonfiction forms. The combination of literary fiction, cultural nonfiction, religious titles, children’s books, and practical or commercial subjects suggests a general publishing strategy designed to serve multiple reading audiences. The house received recognition in the Publishing and Technology branch of the Sheikh Zayed Book Award in 2009, marking an institutional acknowledgment of its contribution to publishing and related technological development. Publicly available reference information is limited and does not establish the current executive team, corporate ownership, financial scale, formal headquarters, listed status, or the precise current status of every catalogue line. Accordingly, this profile focuses on the documented publishing history, subject coverage, author relationships, award recognition, and participation in book fairs.

The Egyptian-Lebanese Publishing House was established in Egypt in 1985. It developed as a general Arabic-language publishing house with a catalogue spanning literary, cultural, religious, historical, and practical subjects. Rather than concentrating on a single category, the house has published fiction, nonfiction, poetry, criticism, children's literature, essays, and other forms of written work. History is among the subjects associated with the publisher's catalogue. Its nonfiction output also includes critical studies, religious books, travel and etiquette works, anecdotal collections, articles, thoughts, and marketing-related material. Its fiction list covers several novel forms, including historical, social, detective, philosophical, and psychological-horror novels. This breadth reflects the role of general publishing houses in the Arabic book market, where literary works and specialist or practical books may be developed within the same publishing programme. The house has published works by numerous recognized authors. The reference material specifically names Kahlil Gibran, Ihsan Abdel Quddous, Ashraf El-Ashmawy, Walaa Kamal, and Radwa El Aswad, as well as other contemporary writers. The available information does not provide a full author bibliography or identify which titles were issued in which years, so individual works are not catalogued here as confirmed flagship products. The publisher has also participated in local and international book fairs. Such participation provides a channel for presenting its books to readers, booksellers, literary professionals, and institutions in Egypt and other Arabic-language markets. The sources do not specify the names or dates of the individual fairs. In 2009, the Egyptian-Lebanese Publishing House was honored in the Publishing and Technology branch of the Sheikh Zayed Book Award. This recognition is the clearest documented institutional milestone in the house's history and indicates acknowledgement of its publishing activity and relationship to developments in publishing technology. Public sources available for this profile do not establish the company's founder, ownership, executive leadership, revenue, corporate structure, formal headquarters, or current catalogue size. The house is therefore best described as an Egyptian general-interest Arabic publisher with a documented history extending from 1985 and continued public web presence.
