Description
Celestina, a racy and irreverent Spanish tragicomedy, has been delighting readers for centuries. First published in 1499, this spirited novel tells the story of a young woman's rise to fame as a seller of perfumes and potions.
With its unique blend of street wit, obscenity, and cultured rhetoric, Celestina is a masterpiece that paved the way for the picaresque novel. This original work explores themes of love, fate, and the human condition, leaving a lasting impact on readers.
A new translation brings this explosive genre-defying work to life, offering a fresh perspective on a story of passion and deception.
