«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (381 pages, in Spanish).
The work is set in fifteenth-century Spain and tells of the love between Calisto and Melibea, which advances thanks to the arts of the go-between Celestina and the complicity of the servants. What begins as a secret courtship leads to a chain of deceptions and unbridled passions until a tragic outcome, with an ironic look at the society of the time.
The edition is dated 1984, edited by Joaquín Benito de Lucas, and belongs to the Clásicos Plaza & Janés collection.
Intended for readers of Spanish classics and for students approaching fifteenth-century 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".
