El reino de este mundo: Novela (Esenciales) (Spanish Edition)
"Carpentier creates a brilliant, improbable world which has the stylized reality of the great myths." (Atlantic Monthly )"Carpentier's writing has the power and range of a cathedral organ on the eve of the Resurrection."-- (The New Yorker )"Carpetier's energy is gigantic and pell-mell, sweeping colossi on top of each other with ruthless, contemptuous daring." (Yale Review )"The Kingdom of This World packs literary dynamite. There can be no disputing the fact, Carpentier is equipped with an elegant perception and a distinctive style which make him a writer to be classed with Thomas Mann and W.H. Hudson." (San Francisco Chronicle )
