Calisto, a young nobleman, falls in love with Melibea and, desperate to win her, hires the services of Celestina, an old procuress and sorceress. Straddling narrative and theatre, the work portrays a conflicted society and the passions that drag its characters towards destruction and death.

It often appears as required reading in schools, and is especially useful for students 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".
