«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published in 1999 in paperback (380 pages, in Spanish).
The work tells the love story between Calisto and Melibea and the intervention of the go-between Celestina, the character who gives the book its title. It became known as Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea; the first version bore the title Comedy of Calisto and Melibea and consisted of sixteen acts, and its composition dates back to the last years of the fifteenth century.
The edition belongs to the Clásicos Españoles collection, edited by Guido M. Cappelli and Gema Vallín, with a prologue by María Rosa Lida de Malkiel.
A common reading in schools and universities, and a classic for those who want to discover Spanish theatre.
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".
