  • "Roman historique publié en 1962, par un auteur cubain d'ascendance franco-russe, important pour la littérature hispano-américaine. Ce récit raconte en un style flamboyant et cruel les ressacs de la Révolution française tels que ressentis à la Guadeloupe à l'occasion d'un fait peu connu qui eut lieu en 1791."

  • "Další přeložený román jednoho z nejvýznamnějších současných spisovatelů španělského jazyka se tematicky blíží Carpentierově novele "Království z tohoto světa". Hlavním hrdinou je Victor Hugues, skutečná historická postava zdoby Velké francouzské revoluce. Tento jakobín osévá Antily revolučními myšlenkami, aby po termidoru sám ztratil naději na úrodu. Vybroušené umění sugestivního vyprávění a magický smysl pro detail určují povahu Carpentierovyprózy."
  • "In het Caribisch gebied en met name in de Franse en Spaanse koloniën verandert er veel tijdens en na de Franse revolutie."
  • "This novel, by Cuban author Alejo Carpentier, is the story of three brothers wandering around the Americas and Europe during the 18th century. Carpentier incorporates themes of the Enlightenment into the text. It is once said that Carpentier, who studied music theory, compared this book to a Beethoven symphony and a concept he called the "eternal baroque" (the idea that during literary history, there are periods when rules of content and form are unclear -- including the use of winding sentences, numerous details, and other abstract elements)."
  • ""A swashbuckling tale set in the Caribbean world at the time of the French revolution, Explosion in a Cathedral focuses on Victor Hugues, a historical figure who led the naval assault to take back the island of Guadeloupe from the English at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In Carpentier's telling, this piratical figure walks into the lives of the wealthy orphans Esteban and Sofia and casts them abruptly into the midst of the immense changes sweeping the world outside their Havana mansion"--"
