«La Celestina» is the tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Mundo Actual de Ediciones in hardcover (272 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, a young man, falls in love with Melibea, daughter of a rich merchant, and to win her over he turns to Celestina, an old matchmaker who ends up dominating the plot. The story reflects a conflicted society, caught between medieval tradition and new times, with extreme passions that set the action in motion.
The work, also known as «Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea», is classified as Spanish drama within literature and fiction.
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".
