«La Celestina» is the classic tragicomedy by Fernando de Rojas, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Calisto, blinded by his passion for Melibea, transgresses social norms and seeks the help of Celestina, an old procuress expert in weaving loves and deceits. The work then interweaves passions, deceits and amorous entanglements, and offers a portrait of fifteenth-century Spanish society.
