Edmond Rostand's masterpiece--and the ultimate triumph of the great French romantic tradition--is the magnificent hero-for-all-seasons, Cyrano de Bergerac. It's a story not just about a hero, but about the nature of heroism. Set in 17th-century Paris, the action revolves around the emotional problems of the noble, swashbuckling Cyrano, who, despite his many gifts, feels that no woman can ever love him because he has an enormous nose. Secretly in love with the lovely Roxane, Cyrano agrees to help his inarticulate rival, Christian, win her heart by allowing him to present Cyrano's love poems, speeches, and letters as his own work. What follows is a timeless demonstration about the nature of romantic love.
