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. La trama sigue a tres personajes principales: Carlos, Sofía y Víctor Hugues, un aventurero francés que llega al Caribe para difundir los ideales revolucionarios. A través de sus experiencias, la novela explora temas como la libertad, la opresión, la revolución y el impacto de las ideas ilustradas en el mundo colonial. Con una prosa rica y evocadora, Carpentier crea un retrato fascinante de una época de grandes cambios y transformaciones.
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.
