Los pasos perdidos es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1953. La historia sigue a un musicólogo en una búsqueda a través de América Latina en busca de instrumentos musicales primitivos, un viaje que se convierte en una exploración de la identidad, la historia y la naturaleza humana. A través de su prosa rica y evocadora, Carpentier teje una narrativa que desafía las nociones convencionales de tiempo y progreso, invitando a la reflexión sobre la relación entre el hombre y su entorno.
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.
