«La Celestina» is Fernando de Rojas's tragicomedy about Calisto and Melibea, published by Alianza in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
The plot revolves around the loves of Calisto and Melibea and the role Celestina plays in them; from her intervention unfolds a web of interests, deceptions and passions among the main characters and their servants. A dialogued work from the late fifteenth century, it is a classic of Spanish literature.
Follows the Valencia 1514 version, with suppressed fragments of the sixteen-act Comedia and later variants; includes notes by Dorothy S. Severin and a study by Stephen Gilman.
Aimed at readers of classics and literature students, with notes that help bridge the gap of archaic Spanish.
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".
