«Cyrano de Bergerac» is the heroic comedy by Edmond Rostand, published by Larousse in paperback (335 pages, in French).
Set in 17th-century France, it tells the story of Cyrano, a poet and swordsman of enormous talent but self-conscious about his large nose, who helps young Christian win Roxane by writing witty letters for him. Amid duels, intrigues and declarations, the play combines humor, romanticism and heroism.
The work is presented in full text within the Petits Classiques Larousse collection, aimed at the Collège level and aligned with the French school curriculum.
It is intended for French-speaking secondary school students (Collège) and for those who wish to read classic French theatre in its original language.
Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand was a French poet and dramatist. He is associated with neo-romanticism and is known best for his 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. Rostand's romantic plays contrasted with the naturalistic theatre popular during the late nineteenth century. Another of Rostand's works, Les Romanesques (1894), was adapted to the 1960 musical comedy The Fantasticks.
