«Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Austral in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man from a well-off family, falls in love with Melibea, daughter of a merchant, and to win her favor he turns to the experienced go-between Celestina. Celestina's cunning comes to dominate the story, and the work becomes a portrait of Spanish society in the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Intended for literature students and for those who wish to approach a classic of Spanish theater.
