«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas adapted by Fran Zabaleta, published by EDICIONES SM in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
In this tragicomedy, Calisto and Melibea, two young lovers, see their love conditioned by the intervention of Celestina, an old matchmaker who pulls the strings for her own gain. The tragic outcome portrays a society governed by greed and passions, and questions the relevance of the classics.
This work, originally published in 1499 as «Comedia de Calisto y Melibea», is part of the Clásicos de SM collection.
Recommended for young readers aged 14 and up and for those approaching the classics of Spanish literature for the first time.
