"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 Rico ENGLISH 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 novel's 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.

Great for a medium chewer!
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
Bought this for my Standard Poodle. He's a year old, 65 pounds, and loves to chew but doesn't have the jaw strength of some of my previous dogs (I think my pit bull would have destroyed this in short order!). This works well for him; it's his favorite toy for fetching. It bounces in an unpredictable manner when you throw it so he has fun chasing and retrieving it. It is heavy so be careful throwing it in the house! I like these shapes better than balls that will roll far under things and be difficult to retrieve. I don't know that I would leave him alone with it in case he did chew a piece off, but for monitored play I highly recommend. I'll definitely buy more if these ever wear out but I don't see that happening in the near future!

Smells like rubber.
Flavor Name: Bacon, Size: Medium
I bought this flavored nylabone for my dog because he had one that he just loved and it finally had to be thrown out. So I bought him this one and he won't even chew on it. All it smells like is rubber. No flavor smell AT ALL. But our other dog chews anything and he chews this so I kept it. I won't buy nylabone again.

Super chewer approved
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Large
One of the few safe chewy bones for a super chewer. Very durable, an appropriate price, and a good size for our 70lb pitty.

The best toys for dogs I could ever find
Size: X Large
I have bull terriers. They chew wood for fun... But this brand in the appropiate size and in any shape has been the best thing for them! They last for a very long time (they have not even dented them and they've had one (another shape) for the last two years. Now I bought these bones so that they can play together, each graving one side of it. They have so much fun! They are worth every penny.

Best chew toy
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Kong toys are the best. They hold up through the heavy chewing stage. Definitely recommend if you have a heavy chewer.
