Los pasos perdidos es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1953. La historia sigue a un músico desilusionado que huye de su vida vacía en la víspera de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, encontrando un nuevo hogar en la selva amazónica, completamente aislado de la civilización. A través de su viaje, el protagonista experimenta una transformación personal y una conexión profunda con la naturaleza y las raíces de la humanidad.
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.
