Abstract

ABSTRACT: Alejos Carpentier’s work is known by its scathing disprovals of surrealist ideas. Although, at young age, the author promoted the movement and built himself intellectually from whitin surrealist precepts, as well as attached to surrealist artists. The presumed disruption with Surrealism is a benchmark in Carpentier’s literary production and shows an ambiguous position, since it is posible to track significant surrealists traces in his essays and narratives. The main concept linked to the author (the "Marvelous Real") is in the spotlight between the rejection of surrealism, as a basic precept, and the resumption of some of its ideas. In this work, we aim to analyze the contradictory position of Carpentier’s discourse through the dialogue between essays written by him at different moments of life, as well as their comparison with critical works on the subject.
