ISBN10: 1855661071, ISBN13: 9781855661073, [publisher: United Kingdom: Tamesis Books Ltd] Hardcover First Edition "This study focuses on one of the first novelists to introduce a version of magical realism and the neo-baroque into Latin American fiction. Original research colours eyewitness accounts of Alejo Carpentier's travels through Spain before and during the Spanish Civil War and the inspiration that he drew from the Baroque architecture he encountered there. The origins of Carpentier's uniquely 'baroque' style are found in his endeavour to create a period ambience in his historical fictions through descriptions of visual arts and architectural settings, and parodies of the literary style of Spanish Golden Age writers. "Medusa's gaze" is used as a metaphor for the petrifying power of the Baroque as a weapon of European dominance. By wielding the same weapon in an act of postcolonial defiance, Carpentier enabled a reassertion of Latin American culture, and laid the foundations for the 1960s 'Boom' in the Latin American novel. Este estudio versa sobre Alejo Carpentier, uno de los primeros novelistas en introducir el realismo magico y el neobarroco a la narrativa latinoamericana. Arroja nueva luz sobre las cronicas que el novelista cubano escribio sobre la arquitectura barroca - tanto le impresiono esta a Carpentier durante su estancia en Espana en la Guerra Civil que se convirtio en fuente de inspiracion constante ...
