Si alguna vez hab\u00e9is estado en Espa\u00f1a, o le\u00eddo sobre nuestro pa\u00eds, probablemente habr\u00e9is o\u00eddo la palabra \u201cp\u00edcaro\u201d. La llamada picaresca es un t\u00f3pico ampliamente conocido tanto en la cultura como en el car\u00e1cter espa\u00f1ol.

Otro t\u00e9rmino literario acu\u00f1ado en Espa\u00f1a, y adoptado por nuestro lenguaje cotidiano es \u201ccelestina\u201d, sin\u00f3nimo de casamentera.<\/p>\n

La Celestina, <\/em>escrita por un misterioso Fernando de Rojas, \u00a0<\/em>es considerada por los cr\u00edticos como la primera novela europea. Publicada en 1499, la Tragicomedia de Calixto y Melibea, <\/em>o La Celestina como todos la conocemos, es sin lugar a dudas una de las grandes obras de la literatura espa\u00f1ola. Escrita en forma de di\u00e1logos, es una cr\u00edtica \u00e1cida contra la sociedad de la \u00e9poca y la naturaleza humana. El argumento es el siguiente: la historia transcurre en Salamanca donde, tras un breve encuentro con Melibea, el joven Calixto se enamora perdidamente de ella y contrata los servicios de Celestina, una vieja prostituta que regenta un burdel, para ayudarlo con sus aspiraciones amorosas. Ella tomar\u00e1 el control tanto de los personajes como de la aventura amorosa, a trav\u00e9s de una serie de episodios c\u00f3micos previos al tr\u00e1gico final. Pod\u00e9is leer toda la historia pinchando aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Celestina se ha convertido en un personaje inmortal. Si alguna vez vais a Salamanca, podr\u00e9is pasar un rato en el jard\u00edn de Melibea, donde la leyenda cuenta que tuvo lugar parte de esta historia de amor.<\/p>\n

If you have ever been to Spain, or read anything about our country, you will have probably heard the word \u201cpicaro\u201d (rogue). \u00a0The so called picaresque is a well known topic in the Spanish culture and character. We even have very famous \u201cpicaros\u201d, not only in real life but also in literature. Do you remember my post about Lazarillo de Tormes<\/a>? Another literary word coined in Spain and adopted by our everyday language is \u201ccelestina\u201d, a synonym for matchmaker.<\/p>\n

The Celestina, <\/em>written <\/em>by a mysterious Fernando de Rojas, <\/em>is considered by scholars to be the first European novel. Published in 1499, the Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea <\/em>or La Celestina,\u00a0<\/em>as we all know it, <\/em>is without any doubt one of\u00a0 the greatest works in Spanish literature. Written in dialogues, it is a bitter criticism against the society of that time and human nature. The plot of the story is the following: The story takes place in Salamanca where, after a brief encounter with Melibea, \u00a0the young Calisto falls madly in love with her and hires the services of Celestina, an aged prostitute and madam in a brothel, to help him with his love aspirations. She will control both the characters and the affair, through a series of comic episodes before its tragic end. You can read the whole story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Celestina has become an immortal character. If you ever come to Salamanca, you could spend some time in Melibea’s garden, where the legend says part of this love story took place.<\/p>\n
