Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand is a play written in 1897. Set in 17th-century Paris, it tells the story of Cyrano, a brilliant soldier and poet cursed with an enormous nose. He loves his cousin Roxane but believes his appearance makes him unworthy of her affection. When Roxane falls for the handsome but inarticulate Christian, Cyrano agrees to help him win her heart by writing eloquent love letters in his name,
creating a romantic triangle of devastating complexity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
