«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published in 1996 by Ediciones B in paperback (374 pages, in Spanish).
The passion of young Calisto for Melibea leads him to break moral barriers and ally himself with Celestina, an old procuress and sorceress. The work contrasts the courtly love of the gentry with the marginal world of the servants and explores desire, lust and death as a reflection of a conflicted society.
A work straddling the novel and the drama, it was originally published in 1499 as «Comedia o Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea».
For readers of classic Spanish literature and for students approaching it in the school setting.
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".
