Based on real historical figures and stories, Carpentier's uniquely crafted re-arrangement and re-creation imbues history with artistic vitality. In particular, the story is permeated with literary, geographical, historical, and religious allusions, weaving together the history of a specific region with the achievements of human civilization, painting a grand picture that concerns the fate of the world.
