Ecue-Yamba-O es la primera novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1933. La historia narra la vida de Menegildo Cue, un joven negro cubano, y su entorno en los ingenios azucareros a principios del siglo XX. La novela explora temas de sincretismo religioso y la búsqueda de una realidad donde la magia y el mito se entrelazan con la vida cotidiana, anticipando el concepto de lo real maravilloso que Carpentier desarrollaría en obras posteriores. Esta edición de Bruguera, de 1979, presenta una cubierta ilustrada y forma parte de la colección 'Libro Amigo'.
Alejo Carpentier y Valmont was a Cuban novelist, essayist, and musicologist who greatly influenced Latin American literature during its famous "boom" period. Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, of French and Russian parentage, Carpentier grew up in Havana, Cuba, and despite his European birthplace, he strongly identified as Cuban throughout his life. He traveled extensively, particularly in France, and to South America and Mexico, where he met prominent members of the Latin American cultural and artistic community. Carpentier took a keen interest in Latin American politics and often aligned himself with revolutionary movements, such as Fidel Castro's Communist Revolution in Cuba in the mid-20th century. Carpentier was jailed and exiled for his leftist political philosophies.
