Cyrano de Bergerac

This is Rostand's immortal play in which chivalry and wit, bravery and love are forever captured in the timeless spirit of romance. Set in Louis XIII's reign, it is the moving and exciting drama of one of the finest swordsman in France: gallant soldier, brilliant wit, tragic poet-lover with the face of a clown. Rostand's extraordinary lyric powers gave birth to a universal hero-Cyrano de Bergerac. Recommended for grade 9. 1981, Bantam Books. 227 pp.
