Cyrano de Bergerac
About this book
"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand is a play written in 1897. This verse drama tells the story of a brilliant swordsman and poet cursed with an enormous nose that makes him doubt his worthiness of love. Though he adores his beautiful cousin Roxane, Cyrano believes his appearance bars him from her affection. When Roxane falls for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian, Cyrano agrees to help—writing eloquent love letters in Christian's name, sacrificing his own heart for another man's romance.
