Drinks and Spanish Lit: Peter Bush Reads La Celestina | Financial Dist.

Submitted by the Event Organizer

What came before Don Quixote? Give yourself five points if you said “La Celestina.” A Spanish Romeo and Juliet, Celestina was published in 1499 and became Spain’s first-ever bestseller, paving the way for everything from Don Quixote to the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, and beyond. Grab a glass of wine and hear Peter Bush read from his acclaimed new translation and talk about why this book is a cornerstone of Spanish literature.
