«Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Austral in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man from a well-off family, falls in love with Melibea, daughter of a merchant, and to win her favour he turns to the experienced go-between Celestina. Celestina's cunning comes to dominate the story, and the work becomes a portrait of Spanish society in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
A work from the Austral Clásica collection, in its Theatre series. Edition by Pedro M. Piñero, with a reading guide by Fernando Rayo and Gala Blasco.
Intended for literature students and for those who wish to approach a classic of Spanish theatre.
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".
