«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy of Spanish literature written by Fernando de Rojas, published in 1975 in paperback, with 332 pages, in Spanish.
The work tells the story of Calisto and Melibea, whose love is conditioned by the intervention of Celestina, an old matchmaker who manipulates passions and interests. Amid deceit and greed, the plot moves towards a tragic outcome, in a text situated between the novel and the theater of the Spanish Pre-Renaissance.
Volume 1 of the Libro Clásico collection. Edition by M. Criado de Val and G.D. Trotter, with introduction, preliminary study and selected bibliography by Ángeles Cardona de Gibert.
Frequently read in schools, it appeals both to students of Spanish literature and to fans of Pre-Renaissance classics.
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".
