«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by El País in paperback (283 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, infatuated with Melibea, hires the go-between Celestina to win her love. Amid spells, visits and deceptions, the work gives voice to servants, prostitutes and rogues, and reflects the transition from a medieval society to a world dominated by greed and self-interest.
This 2004 edition belongs to El País's Clásicos Españoles collection. The work was originally published in 1499 as «Comedia o Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea».
For students of Spanish literature and readers who want to approach a classic of Renaissance theatre in Spain.
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".
