La ciudad de las columnas es un ensayo fundamental del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, donde explora la arquitectura y la esencia urbana de La Habana. A través de una prosa barroca y detallada, el autor analiza los elementos arquitectónicos que definen la identidad de la ciudad, convirtiendo este texto en una pieza clave de la literatura hispanoamericana. Esta edición de la editorial Bruguera presenta un recorrido visual y literario por las fachadas, los patios y, sobre todo, las columnas que caracterizan el paisaje habanero, ofreciendo una reflexión profunda sobre la historia y la cultura del Caribe.
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.
