Explosion in a Cathedral is a historical novel by Cuban writer and musicologist Alejo Carpentier. The book tells the story of Sofia and Esteban, two privileged Creole orphans from Havana, as they get involved in the revolutionary turmoil that shook the Atlantic World at the turn of the eighteenth century. Originally published in 1962, this is one of the most influential works written during the so-called "Latin American literary boom".
