Description
This stamp pays tribute to Abou el Kacem Chebbi (1909-1934), the national poet whose work occupies a central place in the heart and identity of Tunisia. The portrait captures the figure of this visionary intellectual whose verses, notably those of his famous poem “The Will to Live”, became universal symbols of resistance and freedom during the struggle for independence. Beyond the literary celebration, this program highlights the awakening of national consciousness and the crucial role of culture in the affirmation of sovereignty. By immortalizing the man who inspired the words of the national anthem, the Republic promotes an intellectual heritage imbued with youth and lyricism, thus anchoring Tunisian identity in values ​​of dignity and resilience which continue to resonate across generations.
