«La Celestina» is the classic work of Spanish literature by Fernando de Rojas, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (388 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man in love, is rejected by Melibea and turns to the services of Celestina, an old procuress with a reputation as a sorceress. The work contrasts the idealized love of the gentry with the raw world of servants and prostitutes, and shows how the passion and greed of all of them end up unleashing a tragedy.
