«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (276 pages, in Spanish).
The story begins when Calisto, rejected by Melibea, turns to the old procuress Celestina to smooth his path to the young woman. Servants and false appearances intersect in a tragicomedy that portrays, without idealisation, the society of its time, marked by the conflict between courtly love and material interests.
This paperback edition was published in 1996 in Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 200, Classics Section).
For students and readers who want to approach a key work of Spanish literature from the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
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".
