«La Celestina» is the dialogue novel by Fernando de Rojas, published by Edicomunicacion in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man driven by passion, tries to win Melibea with the help of Celestina, an old procuress and sorceress. Between masters and servants, a game of interests and desires unfolds: courtly love coexists with the marginal world of brothels, and that lustful passion leads everyone to a tragic outcome.
Also known as «La Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea», the work was originally published in 1499. Edition from the Clásicos Universales collection by Fontana.
A classic of Castilian literature, common in classrooms and for anyone wanting to discover the work that turned the procuress into a universal myth.
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".
