His fictional world issues from an encyclopedic knowledge of the history, art, music, and literature of Latin America and Europe. Carpentier's novels and stories are the enabling discourse of today's Latin American narrative, and his interpretation of Latin American history has been among the most influential. Carpentier was the first to provide a comprehensive view of Caribbean history that centered on the contribution of Africans, above and beyond the differences created by European cultures and languages. \u003ci\u003eAlejo Carpentier: The Pilgrim at Home\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1977 and updated for this edition, covers the life and works of the great Cuban novelist, offering a new perspective on the relationship between the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGonzález Echevarría offers detailed readings of the works \u003ci\u003eLa música en Cuba\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Kingdom of This World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Steps\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eExplosion in a Cathedral\u003c\/i\u003e.
