«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Bruño in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, dominated by his passion for Melibea, turns to Celestina, an old matchmaker, to win her favour. From that pact, an intrigue of desires and interests is woven that starkly portrays Spanish society in the 15th century and human contradictions.
Edition by Manuel Cifo González, number 29 of the Anaquel collection from Bruño. The work was originally published as Comedia or Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea.
Edition aimed at young readers and school use, recommended from age 14.
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".
