«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by PML Ediciones in paperback (254 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto falls in love with Melibea, daughter of a rich merchant, and his passion leads him to seek the help of Celestina, an old matchmaker who boasts of knowing how to ignite passions. Between masters and servants, the work combines courtly love, greed and deceit, and shows how unbridled desire governs the characters' relationships.
The work belongs to the Clásicos Españoles collection. The original title of La Celestina is Comedia o Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea.
Recommended for literature students and for readers who want to delve into a classic of Spanish literature.
