Los pasos perdidos es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1953. La historia sigue a un compositor en busca de instrumentos musicales primitivos en la selva venezolana, embarcándose en un viaje tanto físico como introspectivo. Acompañado por su amante, Mouche, el protagonista se adentra en un mundo donde el tiempo parece desvanecerse, confrontando sus propias raíces y la esencia de la civilización. La novela explora temas de identidad, autenticidad y la búsqueda de significado en un mundo moderno alienante.

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.
