N2  - "Translated into twenty languages and published in more than fourteen Spanish editions, The Lost Steps, originally published in 1953, is Alejo Carpentier's most heralded novel. A composer, fleeing an empty existence in New York City, takes a journey with his mistress to one of the few remaining areas of the world not yet touched by civilization - the upper reaches of a great South American river; The Lost Steps describes his search, his adventures, and the remarkable decision he makes in a village that seems truly outside history."--BOOK JACKET
