Cyrano De Bergerac

Cyrano De Bergerac is a classic play written by French playwright Edmond Rostand in 1897. The play is set in 17th century France and tells the story of Cyrano, a skilled swordsman and poet, who is in love with his beautiful cousin Roxane. However, Cyrano is too self-conscious about his large nose to confess his love to her. Instead, he helps his handsome but dim-witted friend, Christian, woo Roxane by writing love letters for him. The play explores themes of love, pride, and self-sacrifice as Cyrano must come to terms with his unrequited love for Roxane and the sacrifices he must make for his friend. The play has been adapted into various films, operas, and stage productions and remains a beloved classic of French literature. Rostand's masterpiece is known for its witty dialogue, poetic language, and memorable characters, particularly the charismatic and romantic Cyrano.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
