New York. 1989. September 1989. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. ISBN:0374120838. Translated from the Spanish by Alfred Mac Adam. 122 pages. hardcover. Jacket design (c) 1989 by Syndi Becker Author photo by Mario Ferrer. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The fragmentation and counterpoint of his narrative, its cycles and spirals, give his work a labyrinthine quality. In THE CHASE, Carpentier combines atmosphere, violence, and a sophisticated meditation on flight from the modern world into a richly textured romance of exploration. The current boom in Latin American fiction-the heady mix of fevered politics and narrative innovation in the works of Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, José Donoso, and others-would not have been possible without Alejo Carpentier´s THE CHASE. For it is this remarkable novella which changed the literary imagination of the Spanish language, much as the work of Jorge Luis Borges revolutionized its narrative forms, Written in 1956, The Chase is a thrilling tale told against the backdrop of Havana in the era of Batistas violent tyranny. Carpentier tells of two men (one a student on the run, the other a ticket seller in a concert hall) who come to find their lives-and fates-intertwined. Both men trace paths through the tumultuous city that bring them to the home of Estrella, a prostitute. They are planets doomed to orbit around-this fixed star. THE CHASE is Carpentier at his luxuriant, baroque best. His language, as one critic has observed, seems to register the contrary impulses that set imagination against reason; its involuted syntax coils around the sharp edges of concepts and ideas as if to draw them into equivocal and more elusive terrain. He masterfully undermines a sense of linear progress, deepening the mystery of historical time. Alejo Carpentier y Valmont (December 26, 1904 - April 24, 1980) was a Cuban novelist, essay writer, and musicologist who greatly influenced Latin American literature during its famous `boom´ period. Carpentier was born in Lausanne, Switzerland. For a long time it was believed that he was born in La Habana where his family moved immediately before his birth, but following his death a birth certificate was found in Switzerland. His mother was a Russian professor of languages and his father was a French architect. At 12, his family moved to Paris, where he began to study music theory at the lycee Jeanson de Sailly. When they returned to Cuba in the 1920s, he began a study of architecture which he never completed. He also studied music. Carpentier became a cultural journalist, writing mostly about avant-garde developments in the arts, particularly music. His journalistic work was also considered as leftist and helped found the Cuban Communist Party. Together with the composer Amadeo Roldán, he helped organize the Cuban premieres of works by Stravinsky and Poulenc. 1927, Carpentier was arrested for opposing the Gerardo Machado y Morales dictatorship and spent forty days in jail. It is during this brief period in jail when he started working on his first novel, Ecué-Yamba-O (1933), an exploration of Afro-Cuban traditions among the poor of the island, which he later disavowed for being superficial. He was released in early 1928. After his release, he escaped Cuba with the help of poet journalist Robert Desnos who had lent him his passport and papers. While exiled in France, Carpentier was introduced to the surrealists by Desnos, including André Breton, Paul Eluard, Louis Aragon, Jacques Prévert, and Antonin Artaud. He also met Guatemalan author Miguel Angel Asturias, whose work on pre-Columbian mythology influenced his writing. He continued to earn his living writing, both in French and Spanish, on contemporary culture, as well as contributing to the Communist Party journal. While in France, he made several visits to Spain, during which he developed a fascination for the Baroque. In 1937 (during the Spanish Civil War) he attended an international conference in Madrid of writers against fascism. Carpentier returned to Cuba and continued to work as a journalist at the outbreak of World War II. He also began research on a book on Cuban music. It was published in 1946 as La musica in Cuba (Music in Cuba). He also wrote stories which were later collected in The War of Time (1958). While in Cuba, Carpentier also attended a voodoo ceremony that was to develop his interest in Afro-Cubanism. In 1943, Carpentier, accompanied by French theatrical director Louis Jouvet, made a crucial trip to Haiti, during which he visited the fortress of the Citadelle La Ferriere and the Palace of Sans-Souci, both built by the black king Henri Christophe. This trip, along with readings from Oswald Spengler´s cyclical interpretation of history, provided the inspiration for his second novel, The Kingdom of this World (1949). In 1945, Carpentier moved to Caracas. From 1945 to 1959 he lived in Venezuela, which is the obvious inspiration for the unnamed South American country in which much of The Lost Steps is set. In 1949, he finishes his novel The Kingdom of this World. This novel has a prologue that `outlines Carpentier´s faith in the destiny of Latin America and the aesthetic implications of its peculiar cultural heritage.´ He returned to Cuba after the Fidel Castro´s Communist revolution in 1959. He worked for the State Publishing House while he completed the baroque-style book, Explosion in a Cathedral (1962).´ This novel discusses the advent of the Enlightenment and the ideas of the French Revolution in the New World. It has twin leitmotifs of the printing press and the guillotine and can be read as a `meditation on the dangers inherent in all revolutions as they begin to confront the temptations of dictatorship.´ After reading the book Gabriel García Márquez is said to have discarded the first draft of One Hundred Years of Solitude and begun again from scratch. In 1966, he settled in Paris as he served as Cuban ambassador to France. In 1975 he was the recipient of the Prix mondial Cino Del Duca. He received the Cervantes Prize in 1977 and was recipient of the French Laureates Prix Médicis étranger in 1979 for La harpe et l´ombre. Carpentier was struggling with cancer as he completed his final novel and he died in Paris on April 24, 1980. His remains were returned to Cuba for interment in the Colon Cemetery, Havana. Carpentier is widely known for his baroque style of writing and his theory of `lo real maravilloso,´. It was in the prologue to The Kingdom of this World, a novel of the Haitian Revolution, that he described his vision of `lo real maravilloso´ (`But what is the history of Latin America but a chronicle of magical realism?´). Some critics interpret the `real maravilloso´ as being synonymous with magical realism. His most famous works include - Ecue-yamba-o! (Praised Be the Lord!, 1933); The Kingdom of this World (1949); The Lost Steps (1953); El acoso (1956) (Manhunt); War of Time (1958); El siglo de las luces (1962) (Explosion in a Cathedral); El recurso del método (1974) (Reasons of State); Concierto barroco (1974) (Concierto barroco), based on the 1709 meeting of Vivaldi, Handel and Domenico Scarlatti, with cameo appearances by Wagner and Stravinsky, and fictional characters from the new world who inspire the Venetian composer´s opera, Motezuma; La consagración de la primavera (1978) (The Consecration of Spring); El arpa y la sombra (1978) (The Harp and the Shadow) dealing with Columbus. Originally published in Spanish as El Acoso, copyright (c) 1956 by Editorial Losada, S.A. inventory #12990 ISBN: 0374120838.
