«Cyrano de Bergerac» is the heroic comedy in five acts in verse by Edmond Rostand, in an abridged paperback edition (285 pages, in French).
Cyrano, a brilliant poet and swordsman but self-conscious about his enormous nose, secretly loves his cousin Roxane. When she falls for Christian, a handsome young man without wit, Cyrano offers his words to court her. The play pits physical beauty against the power of talent and passion.
Work originally published in 1897; this abridged edition, published in 2013, belongs to the Folio Junior collection (Textes classiques abrégés series).
For young readers and students of French approaching the classics in abridged form.
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.
