«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Ramón Sopena in library binding (248 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man in love, turns to the old procuress Celestina to win over Melibea, daughter of a rich merchant. Celestina's force ends up dominating the narrative and turns the work into a reflection of a conflicted society, as well as a Spanish classic of transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

A work commonly read in schools and of interest to those studying the classics of Spanish literature.
