Cyrano De Bergerac
(eAudiobook)
Description
Cyrano de Bergerac is a play by Edmond Rostand that premiered in 1897. It tells the story of a talented and poetic swordsman, Cyrano, who is distinguished by his large nose. Despite his many virtues, Cyrano feels unworthy of his beloved Roxane because of his appearance. This sense of inadequacy leads him to hide his feelings and instead, he helps the handsome but inarticulate Christian win Roxane's heart by providing him with eloquent love letters and coaching him on what to say. Through this act of selflessness, Cyrano's deep love and loyalty to Roxane are revealed, even as he sacrifices his own happiness. The play is celebrated for its rich language, romantic themes, and complex characters. Cyrano's wit, bravery, and poetic talent make him a compelling protagonist, while his unrequited love adds a layer of poignant tragedy. Roxane, admired for her beauty and intelligence, becomes the object of affection for both Cyrano and Christian, leading to a love triangle filled with dramatic irony. The story explores themes of inner versus outer beauty, the nature of love and sacrifice, and the conflict between personal desires and noble actions. Cyrano de Bergerac remains a timeless classic, resonating with audiences for its emotional depth and universal themes.
