Écue-Yamba-Ó es la primera novela del reconocido escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, escrita originalmente en 1927 y publicada por primera vez en 1933. Esta obra fundamental de la literatura hispanoamericana narra la historia de Menegildo, un joven que crece en un entorno rural marcado por la vida en un ingenio azucarero, transitando desde la dura realidad campesina hasta el misticismo de las tradiciones afrocubanas. Con un estilo vanguardista que fusiona el surrealismo con la riqueza cultural de Cuba, Carpentier explora temas profundos como la identidad, la música y la lucha por la madurez. Esta edición de 1982, publicada por Ediciones Alfaguara, es una pieza esencial para comprender los inicios de uno de los autores más influyentes del siglo XX y la evolución de la narrativa latinoamericana.
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.
