(4.13) | 140 | One of the most beloved heroes of the stage, Cyrano de Bergerac is a magnificent wit who, despite his many gifts, feels that no woman can ever love him because of his enormous nose. He adores the beautiful Roxanne but, lacking courage, decides instead to help the tongue-tied but winsome Christian woo the fair lady by providing him with flowery sentiments and soulful poetry. Roxanne is smitten-but is it Christian she loves or Cyrano? A triumph from the moment of its 1897 premiere, Cyrano de Bergerac has become one of the most frequently produced plays in the world. Its perennial popularity is a tribute to the universal appeal of its themes and characters.… (more) |

It was to the soul of CYRANO that I intended to dedicate this poem.
But since that soul has been reborn in you, COQUELIN, it is to you that I dedicate it.

| Book description |
Cyrano aime Roxane qui aime Christian qui aime Roxane : il y en a un de trop… oui mais à Cyrano il manque la beauté, à Christian il manque l'esprit : qu'à cela ne tienne, à eux deux ils ne formeront qu'un pour séduire et se faire aimer de Roxanne, Roxanne pour qui amour rime avec esprit et beauté.Le panache, la grandeur, le désintéressement, la générosité, autant de vertus magnifiquement célébrées par les parfaits alexandrins de Rostand ; la quintessence de la comédie et de la tragédie réunies en un texte sublime et extraordinairement indémodable, capable de tirer autant de rires que de larmes, aux enfants comme à leurs grands-parents.Cette édition comprend une brève autobiographie de l'auteur. | |
