About
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.
