El sentido arcano del mensaje poético de la Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea ha quedado siempre revestido por un halo de misterio para sus lectores. Henk de Vries consiguió descubrir en el acróstico de los versos introductorios al drama, el famoso "El bachjler Fernando de Roias acabó la Comedia de Calysto y Melybea e fve nascjdo en la Puebla de Montalván", la clave para una exégesis de la composición numerológico-simbólica de la obra.Precedido de un análisis preliminar sobre principios numerológicos y estructuras numéricas en otras obras medievales, este pormenorizado estudio de la organización oculta de La Celestina permite a De Vries presentar una originalísima contribución al debate sobre algunas de las cuestiones más controvertidas en la crítica celestinesca. ¿Era Fernando de Rojas un cristiano nuevo judaizante, adversario de la Iglesia, o más bien un creyente ortodoxo que, inspirado en ideales sociales, pretendía dirigir una severa crítica contra la relajada moral de ciertas clases ociosas en la sociedad de su tiempo?

Gerli's analysis draws on a wide range of Celestina scholarship but is unique in its use of modern literary and psychoanalytic theory to confront the problematic links between literature and life. Explorations of influence of desire on knowledge, action, and lived experience connect the work to seismic shifts in the culture of early modern Europe. Engaging and original, 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire takes a fresh look at the timeless work's widespread appeal and enduring popularity."--Pub. desc. "One of the most widely-read and translated Spanish works in sixteenth-century Europe was Fernando de Rojas' Celestina, a 1499 novel in dialogue about a couple that faces heartbreak and tragedy after being united by the titular brothel madam. In 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire, E. Michael Gerli illustrates how this work straddles the medieval and the modern in its exploration of changing categories of human desire - from the European courtly love tradition to the interpretation of want as an insatiable, destructive force.
