He was above all a journalist and a playwright. He was also an active member of the literary group Taht Essour. His tales were transmitted by Tunisian radio and later by TV. Their popularity spread to neighboring countries, especially Algeria and Libya. This popularity derives from his practice of drawing upon traditional sayings, stories and proverbs and from his intention to associate his work with the Tunisian dialect and to penetrate the depth of the human soul.}, type={Article}, title={The Immortality of Folktales by Abdelaziz El-Aroui}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116208/PDF/6_ROrient%2072%20z.%202-19%20OUESLATI.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ro.2019.132993}, keywords={Abdelaziz El-Aroui, Tunisian folktales, Tunisian dialect}, }
