ELEMENTOS DE COMEDIA EN LA OBRA DE ALEJO CARPENTIER
ELEMENTS OF COMEDY IN THE WORK OF ALEJO CARPENTIER

Summary/Abstract: Carpentier’s work has created a universe in which the same problems are repeated with insistence, always within different situations, always in different times, always in changing scenarios. His novels have created the concept of man which is always the same for the novelist and time is a mere illusion in a universe in which men live in a timeless time. The characters that Carpentier creates are characters of today but also of yesterday and surely of tomorrow" who participate in yesterday’s revolutions that could also be tomorrow’s revolutions, and in his works, we can see the presentation of more varied historical and personal themes through the parallels of both society and individual. This view of time and history is one of the most key influences Carpentier has had on Latin American literature
