What this book is about
Cyrano de Bergerac is a brilliant, passionate cadet — disfigured by an enormous nose he is absurdly self-conscious about. When he falls in love with the beautiful Roxane, he cannot confess it, instead helping the handsome but tongue-tied Christian win her with Cyrano's own words. Rostand's 1897 verse play is one of the most romantic and heartbreaking works in theater.
