Suhayl Idris (1923 - 2008) is a Lebanese novelist, short-story writer, journalist and translator. He 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. Idris returned to Beirut in 1952, where he founded al-Adab, a monthly literary journal that became one of the leading periodicals of its kind.[1] Several of his novels have autobiographical themes, including al-Hayy al-Latini (1954) and al-Khandaq al-ghamiq (1958).[2]
Idris also translated many European works, including most of Sartre[2] and Camus.
