El siglo de las luces es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1962. La historia sigue el impacto de la Revolución Francesa en el Caribe a través de las vidas de tres jóvenes huérfanos: Carlos, Sofía y Esteban, y su relación con el enigmático y revolucionario Víctor Hugues. La novela explora temas de libertad, revolución, y el choque entre ideales europeos y la realidad colonial en el Caribe. Esta edición de El País, publicada en 2002, presenta una cuidada edición en tapa dura, ideal para coleccionistas y amantes de la literatura hispanoamericana.

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.
