Alejo Carpentier was a Cuban novelist and musicologist. As a political exile in Paris between 1928 and 1939, Carpentier was strongly influenced by Antonin Artaud, Jacques Prévert, and the surrealists. Reflecting his deep commitment to revolutionary politics, his novels explore the irrational elements of the Latin American world, its rich variety of cultures, and the possibility of its magical transformation. Widely regarded as one of the greatest modern Latin American writers, Carpentier was also important as a theorist of the region's literature and historian of its music. Among his works are Ecue-Yamba-O, The Lost Steps, The Chase, The Kingdom of This World, The War of Time, Reasons of State, and The Harp and the Shadow .

Le encargan que traiga instrumentos de la selva venezolana.Emprende el viaje con su amante Mouche (su mujer es artista y sus giras le impiden verla a menudo, por lo que se siente frustrado). Durante el viaje, a medida que se interesa por la vida en la selva se desprende de su amante, y conoce a una joven, Rosario, de la que se enamora. Rompe con su amante y se instala a vivir con Rosario en la selva. Conoce también a un buscador de oro que ha creado una ciudad en la selva. Tiene que regresar a la ciudad porque su mujer lo busca. Logra divorciarse y acude otra vez a la selva para reunirse con Rosario, pero se entera de que se ha casado: nunca pensó que iba a regresar a instalarse de verdad con ella. Por lo tanto, regresa a la selva porque es allí donde se siente más conectado consigo mismo. N° de réf. du vendeur 11562
