«Libro de buen amor» is the medieval poem by Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita, published by El País in paperback (284 pages, in Spanish).
The work is presented as a love autobiography and combines profane and religious lyric, fables, parodies and satires. Through the loves of the narrator, a sinful cleric, it offers a broad panorama of 14th-century Castilian society; humour alternates with didactic intent and Trotaconventos stands out, a precursor of La Celestina.
Three medieval codices of the work survive. This 2005 edition belongs to El País's Clásicos Españoles collection and includes analysis by Anthony Zahareas and Óscar Pereira.
For students of medieval literature and readers interested in the classics of Spanish literature.
