His first award came in 1948 when he won the "Premio Internacional de Novela" (or International Novel Prize") for his novel "Sombras viejas", with jurors such as Somerset Maugham and Walter Starkie.
The novel suffered the censorship of Franco's regime and the promising future of his author seemed frustrated.
Costrained by the dictatorship, Ledesma started using the pen-name of Silver Kane to write popular novels for the Spanish publisher Editorial Bruguera.
Disappointed by the law practice, he studied journalism and started a new career in the editorial office of the newspaper “El correo catalan” and, later, for “La Vanguardia” (TN: one of the most important newspaper of Catal -

Herman Melville was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick (1851); Typee (1846), a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia; and Billy Budd, Sailor, a posthumously published novella. At the time of his death, Melville was no longer well known to the public, but the 1919 centennial of his birth was the starting point of a Melville revival. Moby-Dick eventually would be considered one of the great American novels.
Melville was born in New York City, the third child of a prosperous merchant whose death in 1832 left the family in dire financial straits. He took to sea in 1839 as a common sailor on a mer -
