Celestina
Translated with an Afterword by Peter Bush
Introduction by Juan Goytisolo
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. Original,
explosive, and genre-defying, Celestina
paved the way for the picaresque novel
and for Cervantes.
