Los pasos perdidos es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1953. La historia sigue a un compositor que, buscando inspiración y un escape de su vida monótona, se embarca en un viaje a la selva amazónica en busca de instrumentos musicales indígenas. Acompañado por su amante, Mouche, el protagonista se adentra en un mundo primitivo y desconocido, donde experimenta una transformación personal y una conexión profunda con la naturaleza y los orígenes de la humanidad. A través de este viaje, Carpentier explora temas como la identidad, la búsqueda de sentido y la crítica a la modernidad.
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.
