«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
A work of medieval Castilian literature that creates its own genre between theatre and the dialogued novel. The reading introduces a fictional world with complex characters, recreated settings and a bitter, pessimistic view of life, crossed by a deep lyricism. Cervantes described it as a book «divino, si encubriera más lo humano».
No. 11 in the Biblioteca Didáctica Anaya collection, published in November 2004, edited by Francisca Domingo del Campo and illustrated by Javier Serrano.
Recommended for ages 14 and up, aimed at students approaching 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".
