Los Pasos Perdidos es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1953. La historia sigue a un intelectual que, hastiado de su vida en la ciudad, emprende un viaje en busca de plantas medicinales a través de América Latina. Este viaje se convierte en una exploración de la identidad, la historia y los orígenes de la cultura latinoamericana, llevando al protagonista a un encuentro con lo primitivo y lo esencial de la existencia. La novela es una reflexión sobre la búsqueda de sentido y la confrontación con la naturaleza y la civilización.
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.
