The racy and irreverent Spanish tragicomedy that is considered the
first European novel-in a spirited new translation
A Spanish "Romeo and Juliet," "Celestina" was published in 1499
and became Spain's first-ever bestseller. Readers thrilled to the
salty character of Celestina and her world of prostitutes and black
magic even as they mourned the fate of Calisto and Melibea, the
young lovers she unites using her wiles as a seller of perfumes and
potions. Fernando de Rojas's exhilarating mix of street wit,
obscenity, and cultured rhetoric mark "Celestina" as a masterpiece:
an original, explosive, genre-defying work that paved the way for
the picaresque novel and for Cervantes.
