About this book

"Translated into twenty languages and published in more than fourteen Spanish editions, The Lost Steps, originally published in 1953, is Alejo Carpentier's most heralded novel. A composer, fleeing an empty existence in New York City, takes a journey with his mistress to one of the few remaining areas of the world not yet touched by civilization - the upper reaches of a great South American river. The Lost Steps describes his search, his adventures, and the remarkable decision he makes in a village that seems truly outside history."--BOOK JACKET.

About Unknown Author

Alejo Carpentier y Valmont (Lausana, 26 de diciembre de 1904-París, 24 de abril de 1980) fue un escritor cubano y francés que influyó notablemente en la literatura latinoamericana durante su periodo de auge. La crítica lo consideró uno de los escritores fundamentales del siglo XX en lengua española, y uno de los artífices de la renovación literaria latinoaméricana, en particular a través de un estilo que incorpora varias dimensiones y aspectos de la imaginación para recrear la realidad, elementos que contribuyeron a su formación y uso de «lo real maravilloso». Entre sus novelas destacan *El reino de este mundo* (1949), *Los pasos perdidos* (1953), *El siglo de las luces* (1962), *El recurso del método* (1974) y *La consagración de la primavera* (1978).

Critics considered him one of the most important writers of the 20th century in the Spanish language, and one of the key figures in the literary renewal of Latin America, particularly through a style that incorporates various dimensions and aspects of the imagination to recreate reality—elements that contributed to his development and use of what he termed "magical realism." Among his novels are *El reino de este mundo* (1949), *Los pasos perdidos* (1953), *El siglo de las luces* (1962), *El recurso del método* (1974) y *La consagración de la primavera* (1978).
