Ein Sonderfall ist der Libanese Khalil Gibran, dessen mystische Werke in zahlreichen Übersetzungen (zumeist aus dem Englischen) und hohen Auflagen bestimmte Erwartungen an lebensphilosophische Sentenzen zu bedienen scheinen.
In den Niederlanden gibt es ein ähnliches Phänomen wie in Deutschland: Einige meist aus dem Maghreb stammende Autoren schreiben durchaus erfolgreiche Romane in Niederländisch (aus dem dann wieder in andere Sprachen übersetzt wird, wie bei Abdelkader Benali).
Viele Übersetzungen von Werken arabischer Autorinnen und Autoren in europäische Sprachen gehen an den arabischen Originalverlagen vorbei, werden arrangiert auf oftmals verschlungenen Pfaden durch engagierte Zwischenträger wie Übersetzer.
BIOGRAPHY(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
According to the family genealogy published in the 20th century, the Damascene Mardams' common patrilineal ancestor was Yahya ibn Ibrahim who lived around the turn of the 18th century and married Rabiya, the great- great-granddaughter (and presumably sole heir) of Lala Mustafa Pasha.
The circumstances would also identify 'Uthman Mardam as the politically -decisive personality ("sahib al-hall wal aqd") who, as already discussed presided over the choice of a new mufti in 1850 at the time of the Muradi family's decline/suppression and as the Ottomans of the Tanzimat turned decisively to the Maydanis for local support.
Khalil was active in the Arab Academy, an important Damascene cultural institution, and was elected its president in the 1950's.
He maintained his position as a moderate and finally withdrew from the Higher Committee, thus escaping the fate of his colleagues when the committee was dissolved and its members exiled or deported in 1937.
This party was formed in Nablus in July, 1935, under the presidency of Abdul Latif Bey Saleh, a lawyer and former official of the Ottoman Senate at Istanbul.
Accordingly, Jamil MardamBey, chairman of the current session of the council of the Arab League, and Syrian Minister to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, visited Palestine.

President Shukri Al-Quwatli (1892-1967), one of the heroes of Syrian independence, lived in this humble rented apartment in Al-Jisr Al-Abiyad neighborhood.
Ein Sonderfall ist der Libanese Khalil Gibran, dessen mystische Werke in zahlreichen Übersetzungen (zumeist aus dem Englischen) und hohen Auflagen bestimmte Erwartungen an lebensphilosophische Sentenzen zu bedienen scheinen.
Kleine Auflagen sind bei literarisch anspruchsvollen Werken typisch.

The late Khalil Gibran (from Lebanon) is a particular case because his mystic books (mostly translated from English) have found many readers who apparently were intrigued by his every-day-life philosophies.
The numbers for Lebanese authors are of course high because of special case of the late Khalil Gibran, and with regard to Syria it is the prolific Rafik Schami who is most prominent.
With regard to translations from French there are fairly high numbers of translations by Algerian authors (Assia Djebar and Rachid Boudjedra) and Morocco (namely Tahar Ben Jelloun) while there are few authors from Tunisia translated.

She was touched by the Khalil's story and despite the many medical, legal and clinical issues involved immediately set into action the processes that would make it possible for Nagwa to come with her family to Englewood Hospital for a bloodless Splenectomy.
When the staff and doctors at Englewood Hospital's Bloodless Institute welcomed the Khalil family, they were amazed by the little girl's appearance.
The englarged spleen had so distended her midsection that the diaphram was elevated causing her to have a pregnant-like shape.
