What is Celestina (Penguin Classics) about?
<p><b>The racy and irreverent Spanish tragicomedy that is considered the first European novel-in a spirited new translation</b></p> <p>A Spanish <i>Romeo and Juliet</i>, <i>Celestina</i> 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 <i>Celestina</i> as a masterpiece: an original, explosive, genre-defying work that paved the way for the picaresque novel and for Cervantes.</p>
