"Hace dos días que andamos sobre el armazón del planeta, olvidados de la Historia y hasta de las oscuras migraciones de las eras sin crónicas. [...] Lo que se abre ante nuestros ojos es el mundo anterior al hombre."

Huyendo de una existencia vacía y rutinaria en la ciudad de Nueva York, un compositor viaja con su amante hasta un poblado perdido en las profundidades de una selva en Sudamérica en busca de instrumentos primitivos. El protagonista remonta el río Orinoco hasta sus orígenes y va descubriendo los estratos temporales de la humanidad, mediante una regresión en el tiempo en la que al mismo tiempo irá descubriéndose a sí mismo. Allí tendrá que decidir si quiere permanecer en un mundo primitivo, carente de bienes materiales pero donde ha encontrado la felicidad, o retornar a la civilización.

Los pasos perdidos es una profunda reflexión sobre el mundo moderno y el estado de la humanidad vista a través del lente del realismo mágico y narrada en un estilo barroco que Carpentier lleva al límite, como ningún otro escritor podría. Una obra maestra.

"En esencia, el protagonista de la novela ha enfrentado el drama eterno de la toma de una decisión que implica la ejercitación de su albedrío, el gran desafío que entraña la práctica de la libertad del individuo... La singularidad del valor de lo artístico radica en que esa conclusión y encrucijada sigan siendo pertinentes para los que hoy leemos la novela..." Del prólogo de Leonardo Padura

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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 to be truly outside history.

Reasonable substitute for real copper wire
Color: 40FT Wire+40FT Cable Sleeve
Nice cable set. This will be very handy when I install my inverter in my camper van. While I don't really like the idea of copper clad aluminum (it's cheaper than 100% copper) as long as it doesn't wiggle around much, it'll work just fine. The crimp connectors are great- not as heavy as I would like but they will do the job. Overall, an OK thing to buy

Nice wiring kit with CCA wire.
Color: 40FT Wire+40FT Cable Sleeve, Color: 40FT Wire+40FT Cable Sleeve
This is a nice kit with a lot everything you need to wire up your project. This is CCA wire, so make sure you use it in the proper way. It will not take as much amperage over as long of distance as OFC wire will. The wire itself is good quality. It is true 0AWG and quite flexible making it easy to route through your project. The lugs crimp easily and hold well. The split look wire protector it nice quality and works well. The tool supplied to insert wires into the split loom is amazing. I have never used a toll like that and it works so slick.

Don’t use for automotive
Color: 40FT Wire+40FT Cable Sleeve
Don’t get me wrong it’s not a horrible product but these wires have an extreme amount of resistance to them, and once they get hot they drop voltage drastically. It was nice it came with a bunch of eyelets and made it easy to assemble but unfortunately once they were over 100F temp (live in Florida so cars get way hotter than that on the inside) the voltage would go from a normal 12.5-13.5v all the way down to 8v. Partially my fault I did not notice they were CCA wire instead description, would not recommend for automotive use.

Works as intended
Size: 1-Female to 2-Male Y-Adapter-1 ft
What can I say? Works as intended. Seems pretty decent in quality and has a decent thickness to it! Fits pretty tightly so you don't have to worry about sloppy RCA connections.
