first edition
1967 · London
by Carpentier, Alejo
London: Victor Gollancz, 1967. First printing. Very good plus in very good plus jacket.. First UK edition of this novel set during the Haitian revolution by the influential Cuban author. Carpentier and this novel in particular are responsible for introducing the concept of "lo real maravilloso" or "the marvelous real" — not to be confused with (though it is certainly a progenitor of) magical realism. His theory, that Latin America, due to its unique history and blend of cultural influences is a place where the line between the real and the fantastic is blurred, was explored in the prologue for the original edition of this novel.
