«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Bibliotex in hardback (187 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto falls hopelessly in love with Melibea and turns to the old matchmaker Celestina to win her over. Her intervention, somewhere between sorcery and deceit, unleashes a spiral of passion, greed and death that drags all the characters along. A work straddling the dialogue novel and the theatre, it reflects the social conflicts of its time.
1999 edition with a prologue by Ignacio Amestoy, from the Millenium collection («Las 100 joyas del milenio»). Original title: «Comedia o Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea».
Suitable for students of Spanish literature and for anyone wishing to discover this fundamental work of classical 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".
