Alejo Carpentier is a Cuban writer, poet, essayist, musicologist, and social activist. One of the leading figures of Latin American literature.
Content:
Volume 1. The Age of Enlightenment.
The "Age of Enlightenment" begins in Cuba at the home of a successful merchant at the hour of his death. The young heirs of the deceased, the children Carlos and Sofia and the nephew Esteban, who suddenly became rich and free, are surprised and delighted to get used to their new position. Isolated from the world in a rich palace, they lead a frivolous and carefree existence, until one day a strange visitor appears in their house, and with him the spirit of the times.
Volume 2. Lost tracks.
"Lost Tracks" is a travel novel. The path to the jungle for the protagonist becomes a search for himself, a return to his roots, to his long-forgotten native Spanish language. It tells the story of a relationship with three women, intense emotions and a reassessment of values.
As a result, "Lost Tracks" is a cleansing drama. Will it lead the hero to complete liberation from everything that burdened and distorted his life? Will he find the spiritual freedom he craves?
We need to look not only into the past, but also into today, and also into the future. The novel "Lost Tracks" leads to this idea.
