Description: La celestina / The Celestine by Fernando de Rojas, Francisco Rico Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A novel written as a continuous series of dialogues that can be interpreted to be a play. Publisher Description "Síguese la Comedia o Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, compuesta en reprehensión de los locos enamorados que, vencidos en su desordenado apetito, a sus amigas llaman y dicen ser su Dios". En la prehistoria del realismo novelesco, ningÚn libro ocupa un lugar tan excepcional como La Celestina, cuyo mero título de tragicomedia apunta ya que en ella están violándose las reglas más sagradas en el establishment de las letras. Porque nunca antes, y nunca durante muchos años después, intentó nadie en Europa plasmar un orbe de ficción con tantos visos de integrarse en el ámbito de la experiencia diaria, ni menos mediante una presentación tan detenida y cuidadosa de individuos, hechos y cosas, de vivencias y relaciones personales y sociales, en coincidencia con los resultados, ya que no con los designios, de la novela realista. Ahí reside a todas luces no sólo la novedad radical, sino además el apabullante logro artístico de La Celestina. […] Por lo demás, las palabras y las acciones de los protagonistas tienen tal verdad y contundencia, tanta entidad propia, que no nos toleran entender el mundo más que por sus ojos y a través de sus voces, y Únicamente después, al cerrar el libro, nos mueven a inquirir si ese es también el mundo del autor, nuestro mismo mundo. Es la conquista suprema, el acierto más genial de La Celestina. Francisco RicoENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Celestina is considered by scholars to be the first European novel. Written in fifteenth-century Spain, this masterpiece is remarkable for its originality, depth, handling of dialogue, and drawing of character. The novels focus is the character of Celestina, who dominates the scene. An old bawd brimming with salty wisdom derived from a vigorous and sinful life, she is one of the great creations of all literature. This Spanish classic was originally published anonymously, in 1499; later editions bear the name of Fernando de Rojas as author.La Celestina is the tale of a passionate love affair that ends in tragedy. The story tells of a bachelor, Calisto, who commissions the old procuress and bawd Celestina to start an affair with Melibea, an unmarried girl kept in seclusion by her parents. Celestina, who is the madam of the local brothel, uses all her wiles and with the help of two greedy servants she goes about weaving her spells on the young girl ... with tragic results.Humorous and ribald in its language, La Celestina is a continuous dialogue in which masters and servants participate, with Celestina in its midst. Through the characters dialogue much of the Spanish soul of those times has been revealed and learned, and by extension, of the human condition. Author Biography Fernando de Rojas era un autor y dramatista español conocido por su Único trabajo sobreviviente, La celestina. Publicado por primera vez en 1499, Rojas escribió La celestina cuando aÚn era estudiante, y éste es considerado "el Último trabajo del medioevo español y el primero del Renacimiento". Después de graduarse, Rojas entró a la práctica de leyes y, de acuerdo a lo que se sabe, dejó de escribir. A pesar de las dificultades que tuvo con la Santa Inquisición dada su ascendencia judía, Rojas fue un abogado exitoso y eventualmente fue alcalde de Talavera de la Reina, en donde vivió las Últimas tres decadas de su vida. Murió en 1541.
