Ryvel

Jacques-Victor Lévy, known as Véhel, and his nephew Raphaël Lévy, known as Ryvel, born in Tunis in 1898, wrote together about the Hara, the Jewish quarter of the city. Véhel had published a first book of evening tales on his own in 1920; Ryvel, trained at the École normale israélite orientale, taught in the schools of the Alliance israélite universelle in Tunis from 1919 to 1935, then in Sousse and Casablanca. In 1929, the two men signed, with Vitalis Danon, a first collection about the quarter. Ryvel received the Carthage prize in 1931, moved to France after independence and died in Cannes.
