«Cyrano de Bergerac» is the heroic comedy in five acts and in verse by Edmond Rostand, published by J'ai lu in paperback (192 pages, in French).
In 1640 Paris, Cyrano, a brilliant poet and swordsman self-conscious about his large nose, secretly loves Roxane. Since she prefers the handsome but ineloquent Christian, Cyrano offers his wit: he will write the letters that win Roxane over. A plot that blends drama, comedy and romance and speaks of love, beauty, honor and sacrifice.
Play premiered in Paris in 1897. This complete-text edition belongs to the Librio collection from J'ai lu.
For those who enjoy French theatre classics and stories of impossible love.
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.
