Luis Leante


Luis Ramón Leante Chacón, commonly known as Luis Leante, is a Spanish novelist and Latin professor.
Leante graduated in Classical Philology from the University of Murcia. He has lived in Alicante since 1992, where he worked as a high school teacher until 2009. He published his first novel at the age of 20, but it was not until 2007, after winning the Alfaguara Prize with his novel See How Much I Love You, that he began to devote himself entirely to literature. Another of his novels, Red Moon, published in Spain in 2009, is a gripping story between a writer and translator, set in Alicante, Berlin and Istanbul.
