«La Celestina» is the classic work by Fernando de Rojas, published by J. Perez Del Hoyo in hardcover, in Spanish.
Calisto burns with passion for Melibea, daughter of a rich merchant, and allies himself with the old procuress Celestina, who ends up dominating the work and becoming a universally famous character. The story reflects a conflicted society, liquidates the medieval tradition and opens the way to new times, with love, death and ambition as its axes.
Published in 1969, this edition belongs to the collection 100 Clásicos Universales, number 13, and its cover reproduces a classic black-and-white illustration.
Recommended for university students and scholars of Spanish literature, who value the erudition of its introduction and notes.
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".
