Life

Idris studied in Beirut before going on to study in Paris and gain a doctorate from the Sorbonne. His first collection, Ashwaq, was published in 1947. Idriss returned to Beirut in 1952, where he founded al-Adab, a monthly literary journal that became one of the leading periodicals of its kind.[2] Several of his novels have autobiographical themes, including al-Hayy al-Latini (1954) and al-Khandaq al-ghamiq (1958).[3]

Idris also translated many European works, including most of Jean-Paul Sartre[3] and Albert Camus.
