Los mejores libros jams escritos Edicin de Santiago Lpez-Ros, profesor de Literatura Espaola en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid La emocin, la belleza, el sentido trgico y al mismo tiempo grotesco de las grandes pasiones humanas hallan en La Celestina una de sus ms intensas expresiones. El loco amor de Calisto y Melibea, enhebrado con los hilos de una bruja, Celestina, culmina fatalmente con la muerte de ambos. Fernando de Rojas es capaz de contarnos esta historia con una habilidad insospechada, que ata al lector a un texto poderoso y magnfico y que obra el milagro de llenar de pasin la lectura misma. Esta edicin incluye una introduccin que contextualiza la obra, un aparato de notas, una cronologa y una bibliografa esencial, as como tambin varias propuestas de discusin y debate en torno a la lectura. Est al cuidado de Santiago Lpez-Ros, profesor de literatura espaola de la Universidad Complutense deMadrid. No sabes que alivia la pena llorar la causa? Cunto es dulce a los tristes quejar su pasin! ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 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 Celestina as a masterpiece: an original, explosive, genre-defying work that paved the way for the picaresque novel and for Cervantes.

Occasional Weekly Report:

I just got back from a chill family visit, reading almost a book a day. So, I've finished The Romantics (quiet, bittersweet), The Restless (interesting structure), After the Death of Don Juan (longish postscript of a well known story), The Tree of Man (stoic view of Australian frontier), and Laidlaw (early Scottish noir).

Still reading Clarissa and almost done with the tagged book.

I loved reading this book since it shows the battling of ideals between the Medieval and the Renaissance periods, personified through different characters in the play.

La Celestina, though a Spanish book, is a very dark, witty version of Romeo and Juliet with twisted matchmaking. A red velvet cupcake and a hot chocolate make all the drama more fun.
