A Well-Established Cultural Journey in the Arab Publishing World
The Egyptian Lebanese Publishing House for Printing, Publishing, and Distribution is considered one of the most prominent private publishing houses in Egypt and the Arab world. Since its establishment, it has succeeded in securing a distinguished position within the cultural landscape through a publishing project that combines intellectual quality with creative diversity, addressing the Arab reader across a wide range of interests.
Foundation and Vision
The publishing house was founded in the mid-1980s, during a period marked by major transformations in the Arab publishing market. From the outset, it set a clear goal: to serve contemporary Arab culture and support serious literary creativity, while maintaining a close connection to Arab and human heritage. Since its early days, the house has adopted a publishing policy based on the careful selection of works, steering away from rapid commercial publishing.
Diversity of Publications
Over the years, the Egyptian Lebanese Publishing House has released hundreds of titles across various fields, most notably:
- Novels and short stories
- Literary criticism and cultural studies
- Books on thought and history
- Edited and verified heritage works
- Selected publications aimed at youth and young readers
This diversity has contributed to expanding its readership and has made the house a preferred destination for a large number of Arab writers, both established names and emerging voices.
A Close Relationship with the Literary Scene
The publishing house’s name has been associated with the publication of works by many leading Egyptian and Arab writers and novelists. It has also played a notable role in discovering new literary talents and providing them with opportunities to appear in the publishing market. This role has strengthened the house’s presence as a cultural actor whose influence extends beyond printing to shaping public literary taste.
Presence at Book Fairs and Cultural Events
The Egyptian Lebanese Publishing House is keen on regular participation in local and Arab book fairs, foremost among them the Cairo International Book Fair. There, it showcases its latest releases and organizes book signings and cultural meetings that bring writers and readers together, in support of direct cultural dialogue.
Publishing Policy and Quality
The house relies on strict standards in artistic design, linguistic editing, and print quality, which has earned its publications the trust of the Arab reader. It also maintains a balance between publishing serious literary works and producing books capable of reaching a wide audience without compromising intellectual value.
An Ongoing Cultural Role
The Egyptian Lebanese Publishing House continues to play its role as one of the leading names in the Arab publishing industry, maintaining a clear cultural direction based on respect for the reader’s intellect, support for creativity, and contribution to building a modern Arab library that brings together authenticity and renewal.
