Early life
Early life
George Jordac was born in 1931 in the town of Al-Jadida in the Marjayoun area, in southern Lebanon.. Marjayoun consists of two words "Marj" and "Ayoun" (springs), the place where the springs come up. It has many springs. The people of the village are lovers of literacy.
Education
Education
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). He always escaped from school and went to the side of these spring. The school principal and teachers were always looking after him and every day complained about him to his family. In his family, only his brother, Foad Jordac, supported him. When he was 13 years old, George had memorized much of Nahj al-balagha and the other two books. When Jordac was about 14 years old, he composed the play titled Sunrise. The play was performed at some villages in the south of Lebanon. At this time one of their friends, Mansoor Jordac, decided to send him to Europe for studying Math, but George refused. He came to Beirut and studied Arabic literature at the College of the Church. While George was only 18 years old, he wrote his first literary works that named "Wagner and woman". 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. In 1960, George made up his mind to write the encyclopedia about Ali ibn Abi Talib and named it "Ali, The Voice of Human Justice". He died on November 5, 2014.
