Two pages from an early edition.
In 1499 appeared the first 16 'acts' of the Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, now better known as La Celestina, a work that Juan Goytisolo called 'Spanish literature's most audacious and subversive work' in his excellent article celebrating the 500th anniversary of the text's publication.(*)
First published anonymously, then again with the author's name in acrostics, it was eventually revealed that the author was the still quite young Fernando de Rojas (c. 1465/76..more

For about a month they have been having sex clandestinely at night, inside Malibea's room, right under the noses of her unsuspecting parents. To get to her room Calisto has to climb up a steep ladder carried to the site every night by his servants. During this last night, after three exhausting but blissful encores, Calisto heard a commotion outside. Rushing to check what it was, suspecting his servants may be in trouble, he slipped off the ladder and fell to his death, his head split into three..more

'You antic ass! You've made me laugh, which I did not intend to do again this year.'
Celestina is every bit the great classic that its reputation among Spaniards suggests. It's bold, funny, cynical, and at the same time affecting, provoking a strange mix of derision and sympathy. Along the way it scorns most of society's values, as well as its hypocrisies, general human frailty, and most of all it cries out against the inhuman cruelty of God, Love, Fortune, the World itself, or whatever it is tha..more

What could I say about one of the major Spanish classics as 'La Celestina'? Well, I think that this book is certainly one of these novels that a big part of Spanish people have read. In my case, I did it in school time and despite the years that have passed, I still remember the story perfectly. 'La Celestina' is a novel that despite its age is still entertaining, fun and easy to read. Romances, misunderstandings and especially a funny intelligence has made it become not only one of the big clas..more

One of the 'must reads' of Spanish literature, this book represents both the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance in Spain. The character of Celestina is the basis of one of the three literary types from Spanish literature, along with Don Quijote and Don Juan. I've taught it multiple times and am always amazed by how much the issues raised in this book resonate with my students.

“La Celestina” sits between the last gasps of the Middle Ages and the first breaths of the Renaissance. Written for the most part by a 25 year old graduate of the Universidad de Salamanca, it also stands slightly behind “Don Quijote” in Castile’s novelistic rankings. It is still, over 500 years after its composition in 1499-1502, a masterpiece of Western literature. Arguably, it also could lay claim (according to Otis Green in his” Spain and the Western Tradition”) to being the first novel or “t..more

This play was written by Fernando Rojas in the year 1499. It is a wonderful play about love and tragedy. Calisto fell in love with Melibea who was a beautiful young woman who would inherit a great fortune from her father. Calisto was rich and paid Celestina, an old astute witch of a woman, money so she could make Melibea love him.
Calistos servants, Sempronio and Parmoneo were in cohuts with Celestina but she kept all the gold for herself. When she defaulted on her deal Sempronio kills her.

Read many years ago, but planning to re-read for the Classics Club. It's come to mark a beautiful and long gone time in my life (high school years reading with the class, -a small group of students-, with an alcoholic teacher we loved and hated at the same time, a lonely woman who did love good books.

“Celestina” is one of those literary peculiarities that you might not have had the pleasure to be introduced to if you had not taken a course in Spanish literature. I first ran across the title in the Dedalus European Classics series, which has a lot of similarly obscure and wonderful things, including Georges Rodenbach and Gustav Meyrink.

This was the first real book I read in spanish and I was very proud when i finished it.
The plot was not too bad, but I absolutely did not like the fact that it was written in 'play mode'.

CELESTINA: As soon, lady, dies the young lamb as the old sheep; they go both to the shambles together: there is no man so old but he may live one year more, nor no man so young but he may die to-day, so that in this you have little or no advantage of us.

This book is arguably the first European novel from 1499, predating Don Quixote by some 100 years. The book was written by Rojas (also of Salamanca) supposedly after someone else wrote the first chapter and he decided to finish it; it was written in vernacular old Spanish as a tragicomedy much more as a play/dialogue driven story than a prose book per se. The history of the book, around the time of Columbus’ voyages, recent Moor’s expulsion for Granada, the Spanish Inquisition, Rojas’ forebears..more

Sometimes credited as the first novel and the work that marked the beginning of the Spanish literary Renaissance, La Celestina uses a combination of tragedy and comedy to cast its bizarre spell on unsuspecting readers. It provides a truly unique experience that I enjoyed a great deal, though a number of warnings are necessary before anyone dives into it headfirst.

Read for university. La Celestina was an interesting read and I can see why it is one of the most important and creative works of its time and how it changed Spanish literature.

It’s difficult to pin down La Celestina, a late medieval work attributed to Fernando de Rojas that is a long dialogue separated into twenty one acts. It’s far too long to be a drama (but apparently it has been staged!) and is written entirely in dialogue, so it’s not quite accurate to call it a novel. Even so, the narrative flows more like a work of prose than a drama. It is neither episodic nor structured as quasi-troubadour verse, like Ruiz’s The Book of Good Love. It is not funny enough to be..more

one of the books I ever read, the storyline is very simple but what makes the book special is the way the book was written, I would not recommend it if you are not going to read it in spanish, but if you are, give it a chance, it is a different experience because of the language they used back then but it is beautiful.
