Description
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand is a story of unrequited love and loyalty. In 17th-century France, Cyrano, a charismatic poet and soldier, falls deeply in love with Roxane, the most beautiful woman in Paris. However, his large nose makes him doubt she could ever see past it to return his feelings. To help Christian, a young man who is also smitten with Roxane, Cyrano offers to write declarations of love for him to woo her with. As their story unfolds, Cyrano's selfless act raises questions about the nature of true love and acceptance. Set against the backdrop of Louis XIII's reign, Rostand's play has remained a powerful and romantic tale for over a century. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition brings Rostand's masterpiece to readers in English, with authoritative introductions and notes that enhance our understanding of this dramatic and poignant story.
