Description
The Harp and the Shadow is a richly imaginative novel that blends history, fantasy, and political commentary, centered around the controversial legacy of Christopher Columbus. Through a layered narrative involving Pope Pius IX, Columbus himself, and a ghostly interlude, Alejo Carpentier examines the mythmaking process and the manipulation of historical memory. With his signature style of magical realism, Carpentier critiques colonialism and explores the power of narrative in shaping cultural identity and historical truth.
