Calisto, a young nobleman, falls in love with Melibea and, to overcome her rejection, allies himself with Celestina, an old procuress and sorceress.

This is a recommended reading edition, suitable for students and readers interested in the classics of Spanish literature.
Fernando de Rojas was a Spanish author and dramatist, known for his only surviving work, La Celestina, first published in 1499. It is variously considered "the last work of the Spanish Middle Ages or the first work of the Spanish Renaissance".
