«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Club Internacional del Libro in hardcover (332 pages, in Spanish).
Young Calisto falls in love with Melibea and, to win her love, turns to Celestina, a go-between familiar with the underworld. A work straddling the novel and the theater, it combines the comic and the tragic and portrays a society in which masters and servants move between desire, greed and the conventions of courtly love.
1973 edition; the work was originally published in 1499. It belongs to the Obras Inmortales collection.
For literature students, fans of classical theater and readers who want to approach a classic of Spanish literature.
