Introduction, adaptation of the text, and notes by Francisco Calero.
La Celestina is one of the masterpieces of world literature. Its author gave the plot a clear moral purpose: the story of uncontrolled passion leads its protagonists, Calisto and Melibea, to an unfortunate end, full of deaths, turning the story into a terrible lesson for those who let themselves be carried away by their appetites. On the other hand, La Celestina brilliantly reflects the period of transition that Europe was experiencing at the end of the 15th century: the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
