Description
Celestina is a story of love, morality and tragedy. Written by Fernando de Rojas in fifteenth-century Spain, this novel presents a dramatic courtship between two young lovers, Calisto and Melibea. Their story is guided by the enigmatic Celestina, an aged prostitute who seizes control of their affair. Celestina is a complex character with a surprisingly modern consciousness. She is both a comic figure and a self-assertive promoter of women's sexual license. Her influence on Calisto and Melibea's relationship is marked by a series of mishaps that ultimately lead to its tragic end. Translated into English, this novel offers a new perspective on Spanish literature. With its vivid dialogue and engaging storyline, Celestina is an inimitable read that will be relished by readers looking for a fresh take on the past.
