About the author

Alejo Carpentier

205 books533 followers
Writings of Cuban author, musicologist, and diplomat Alejo Carpentier influenced the development of magical realism; his novels include El siglo de las luces! (1962) and The Kingdom of This World (1949).

Alejo Carpentier Blagoobrasoff, an essayist, greatly influenced Latin American literature during its "boom" period.

Perhaps most important intellectual figure of the 20th century, this classically trained pianist and theorist of politics and literature produced avant-garde radio programming. Best known Carpentier also collaborated with such luminaries as Igor Stravinsky, Darius Milhaud, Georges Bataille, and Antonin Artaud. With Havana, he strongly self-identified throughout his life. People jailed and exiled him, who lived for many years in France and Venezuela but after the revolution of 1959 returned. He died in Paris, but survivors buried his body in Havana.

Recopilación de reseñas sobre cine que hizo Carpentier para un diario venezolano en los años 50.

La cosa empieza bien con “El perro de Jean Giono” y de ahí rumbo a peor. Reflexiones superficiales sobre los debates eternos, artículos que rozan la crónica de cotilleo, reproducciones prácticamente íntegras de artículos ajenos, …

Mención aparte merecen los artículos del tipo: el gran Orson Wells acaba de estrenar en Europa su nueva película, Mr. Arkadin. La película cuenta la historia de un… Mr Arkadin no recuerda nada de su pasado y… Estructurada como una investigación… Al final confrontado a esos hechos terribles, Mr. Arkadin… ¡Estamos deseándolo verla en nuestras salas!

Todo en un estilo muy envejecido. Que vamos, no sé ni cómo he llegado al final.

Pero si algo duele especialmente es el índice onomástico. Un índice en el que no aparece Ford, John (ni Hitchcock, ni Hawks, ni Wilder, ni…) pero sí Ford, Francis.
