Find Out All About The Lebanese Diaspora’s Rich History In Orphalese – A Lebanese Global Century 

For all those who are interested in Lebanese history, we have quite a treat coming your way. A new book about the adventures and escapades of the Lebanese diaspora is set to come out this December. Orphalese – A Lebanese Global Century, penned by UK-based Lebanese lawyer Sarmad Gassoub is a must-have for all bibliophiles and history buffs.

Orphalese isn’t just another historical account. It’s an introspective journey through the lives of ten prominent men from the Lebanese Diaspora, each of which has left indelible marks on our world. It’s a literary time machine that promises to transport you across continents, through glittering successes, riveting adventures, and unique human experiences.

Sarmad Gassoub has long harbored a passion for his country’s history and a consistent commitment to ensuring it has a bright future. His work aims to highlight the significant contributions of Lebanese individuals on the world stage while also fostering the next generation of Lebanese leaders by using his proceeds to support children’s charities.

About this new book, Gassoub commented, “This is the story of the world’s richest man, a prisoner with the mind of a child on Death Row, a doctor who saved millions from preventable diseases, and a man that escaped a lifetime of imprisonment by climbing in and out of a small box. It’s also the story of a nation’s search for the promise of a better life in every corner of the world. Their stories have never been told in quite this way before. I hope they are as inspiring and entertaining to read as they were to write.”

Orphalese, which comes out on the centennial anniversary of Khalil Gebran’s The Prophet, brings together in-depth narratives of the lives and accomplishments of ten Lebanese men in the diaspora, each contributing to the global tapestry in their unique way. From literary legend Kahlil Gebran to iconic actor Omar Sharif, renowned mathematician Michael Atiyah, influential political figures like Edward Seaga and Michel Temer, to business tycoons Carlos Slim and Carlos Ghosn, Gassoub brings their stories to light with meticulous detail and contextual background, weaving an enriching narrative of Lebanese communities across the world.

This book seems like a must-read for all those interested in Lebanon’s history and its vast diaspora. Going beyond mere biographical accounts, it promises to capture the essence of these men’s experiences, intertwining their social, cultural, and historical contexts, and highlighting the role the Lebanese Diaspora has played in shaping the world.

Every penny from the sales of Orphalese – A Lebanese Global Century will go towards supporting Lebanese children’s charities. You won’t just be buying a riveting book about the past, but you’ll also be supporting a cause that aims to inspire and support the next generation of Lebanese leaders.
