El siglo de las luces es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1962. La historia se desarrolla a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, durante la época de la Revolución Francesa y las guerras napoleónicas. A través de los personajes de Esteban, Sofía y Víctor Hugues, Carpentier explora los ideales de la Ilustración y su impacto en el Caribe y en la sociedad de la época. La novela es una reflexión sobre la libertad, la revolución y el choque entre la cultura europea y la realidad americana.
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.
