«Cyrano de Bergerac» is the heroic comedy in five acts by Edmond Rostand, published by Pocket in paperback (391 pages, in French).
Set in seventeenth-century France, the play presents Cyrano, a brave poet and swordsman whose insecurity about his prominent nose leads him to court the woman he loves through another man's words. Amid duels, verses and misunderstandings, Rostand builds a heroic comedy in five acts that blends romanticism, honour and passion.
It belongs to the Pocket Classiques collection (no. 6007), with complete text and keys to the work; edition annotated by Claude Aziza, professor at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.
For students of French and readers seeking a classic of theatre with didactic material.
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.
