The work focuses on the love of Calisto and Melibea, whose meeting depends on the services of the go-between Celestina. From that plot, Fernando de Rojas portrays a society driven by desire, deceit and greed, with dialogues and characters that have made it a classic of Spanish literature.
The work is also known as «Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea» and belongs to the Historia Universal de la Literatura collection, no. 59.
Intended for readers approaching the classics and for theater students who want to know a representative work of the genre.
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".
