«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Orbis Fabbri in 1999 (232 pages, in Spanish).
The work, originally published at the end of the 15th century, tells of the love between Calisto and Melibea and the role of Celestina, a go-between who intervenes to facilitate it. Halfway between comedy and tragedy, the text shows greed, passion and deceit, and offers a critical view of the society of the time.
Recommended for readers who want to approach an essential classic of Spanish literature and culture.
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".
