Life and Education
George Jordac was born in 1931 in the town of Al-Jadida in the Marjayoun area, in southern Lebanon. He finished his primary education in a school in this area. As a child, he read Nahj al-Balagha, the Diwan (poetry-collection) of Al-Mutanabbi, and Majma' al-baḥrayn by Nasif al-Yaziji. He learned about Nahj al-balagha from his brother Fuad Jordac (an engineer, philologist, and poet). When he was 13 years old, George had memorized much of Nahj al-balagha and the other two books. George Jordac studied in the college of Batrukiyya in Beirut.
After he graduated from the university, George taught Arabic literature and Arabic philosophy in some schools and universities in Beirut, and at the same time, he translated and wrote some articles for Lebanese newspapers and magazines. He wrote in newspapers such as Al-jumhuri al-jadid, Al-hurriyya, al-ṣayyād, Al-shabaka, Nisā', Al-kafaḥ al-'arabī, Al-amn, and some Arabic newspapers printed in Paris, and for two years in Al-watan and Al-ra'y al-ām, both printed in Kuwait.
He died on November 5, 2014.
