Hussein Marwah was born in 1910 (according to his ID, though he believed it to be 1908) in the village of Haddatha, Bint Jbeil district, in southern Lebanon. He received his early education in Bint Jbeil and Nabatieh.
In 1924, he traveled to Iraq to study religious sciences, the Arabic language, and its literature at the University of Najaf, completing his studies in 1938.
In 1948, he actively participated in the events of the Iraqi national popular uprising that overthrew the colonial British Portsmouth Treaty. After Nuri al-Said returned to power, an order was issued for his deportation from Iraq, and he returned to his homeland Lebanon in June 1949.
In Lebanon, he began writing his famous daily column "With the Caravan" in the Al-Hayat newspaper. He co-founded and edited the leftist magazines "National Culture" and "Al-Tariq," and also contributed to the newspapers "An-Nidaa" and "Al-Akhbar."
Among his most prominent works are: "With the Caravan" (1952), "Literary Issues" (1956), "The Iraqi Revolution" (1985), and his foundational work "Materialist Tendencies in Arab-Islamic Philosophy" (1978).
Hussein Marwah was assassinated in his home on February 17, 1987, at the age of 79.
