Armel Job (born 24 June 1948 in Heyd, Durbuy) is a Belgian writer of French language, former Director of the Institut Notre Dame Séminaire of Bastogne (INDSé).
Youth
Armel was the third in a family of four boys. His father was a mattress-maker, then a grain dealer, and his grandfather was a horse dealer.
Armel entered the Bastogne seminary at the age of twelve, where Latin and Greek formed the basis of his education. He also studied the piano and played in the school orchestra. He was a member of the student theater.
He pursued university studies at the University of Liège. His undergraduate degree was in philosophy and letters, with graduate degrees in classical philology and secondary education.
Public life
He was hired as a teacher of Latin and Greek at the same seminary in Bastogne where he had previously been a pupil. He taught there for twenty-three years and held various management positions from 1993 to 2010. The father of three daughters, he lives in the Bastogne region. Throughout his career he published specialized articles in the Journals of Belgian Catholic Education and continued to work on translations of Latin and Greek. He left teaching in 2010 to devote himself to his literary work. In 2011, he created the Prix du 2e roman francophone, a popular prize that immediately met with great popularity (more than 1700 readers). [1]
Armel Job has published about twenty novels. His Fausses innocences was adapted to cinema [2] under the same title by André Chandelle in 2009.
Armel Job is also a playwright. His play Le Conseil de Jerusalem was presented as a reading show in Liège, Brussels, Paris, within the framework of the Popular Universities of the Theater of Jean-Claude Idée.
