Alejo Carpentier

University of Minnesota Press, 2001

One of the ten best books ever written
This thrilling, spellbinding novel is the single most important book about Cuba ever written. The editorial reviews have completely misssed the point. It's a prophetic account of the Communist takeover, set at the time of the French revolution. It describes in ...
  
  











  



  
El arpa y la sombra
Alejo Carpentier

Siglo XXI, 1999

repensando a colon
Esta obra es un análisis de la vida de Cristóbal Colon, vista desde un punto de vista irónico y divertido a la vez. El autor hace uso del lenguaje barroco y la novela, aunque es corta, parece cargada. La vida de colon es vista desde la perspectiva presente, por un ...

The Lost Steps
Alejo Carpentier

University of Minnesota Press, 2001

One of the most memorable novels I've ever read
I've read thousands of novels that I cannot remember clearly, and this is one that has stayed with me for more than 20 years. I have thought of it repeatedly the last few months while walking in the woods and observing how the trails change with the seasons (a crucial ...

Concierto barroco (Biblioteca Juvenil)
Alejo Carpentier

Editorial Lectorum, 2003

Esta es una novela deliciosa, propositiva, liberadora. En ella, el escritor utiliza los recursos propios del barroco: la parodia, el artificio, la hiperbole, le enumeracion proliferante, con mayor liberalidad. Rompe con las ataduras de la cronologia historica y adquiere un extraordinario sentido del humor. Cuenta la historia de la puesta en escena ...
