Escapees by Alejo Carpentier (Farsi)

The Lost Steps follows an unnamed narrator, a disillusioned composer from New York, who embarks on a journey into the South American jungle in search of a rare musical instrument. As he ventures deeper into the wilderness, he confronts the stark contrast between the mechanized modern world and the primal essence of nature. Through rich, baroque prose, Carpentier explores themes of existential longing, the quest for authenticity, and the tension between civilization and the natural world. The novel serves as a profound meditation on the human condition and the complexities of cultural identity.
