After 44 years of a journey without return, his farewell is not true, because the universal writer always lives in his works and in his audiences.
The last farewell of Alejo Carpentier leaves a mark in the narrative of this world, being an architect of renewal in the American continent.
The mournful departure of this man, winner of the Miguel de Cervantes literary award, gains in greatness, love, and accuracy that Cuba, his adopted land, does not forget, for being a sublime theoretician, of radical, progressive, revolutionary and anti-imperialist thought that overflowed the limits of his time.
Carpentier is the perennial evocation of an unrenounceable pen, he is one of those souls that becomes present in literary pages to transcend in generations passionate about his letters, he is the superior force in the world of books.
And although his culture had a European ancestry, he knew with masterful fluency to impregnate himself with the spirituality, the roots and the culture of our peoples of America and the Caribbean, to assimilate a concept that singularized his divine creation.
He is this immense being, Cuban to the core, with a wave of sensibility and aesthetic thought, deserving of a cultural category that transcends the marvelous real with an image and beauty perceived in the antagonisms of the cultural and political life of the continent, as something daily.
He is undoubtedly Alejo Carpentier, the creator who has been able to narrate for all times, because his steps were never lost, whose distinguished pen of impressive genius continues to shine in Hispanic America, which is forever grateful to him.
Today his imprint travels new paths in music, painting, dance, literature, to remember forever this April 24 the last farewell of a writer very much ours that his second homeland does not make indifferent.
