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.

Very loosely based on the life of a French duelist and playwright, Cyrano de Bergerac is a play in verse that tells the tale of soldier who is gifted with every imaginable positive attribute -- except that of a handsome appearance. Because of his perceived ugliness (including a disproportionately large nose), Cyrano feels unworthy of the woman he loves and vents his emotions via other -- sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic -- channels.

"Poet and soldier, brawler and charmer, Cyrano de Bergerac is desperately in love with Roxane, the most beautiful girl in Paris. But there is one very large problem - he has a nose of stupendous size and believes she will never see past it to return his feelings. So when he discovers that the handsome but tongue-tied and dim-witted Christian is also pining for Roxane, generous Cyrano offers to help by writing exquisite declarations of love for the young man to woo her with. Will she ever recognize who she is really falling in love with? Set during the reign of Louis XIII, Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1897) was one of the great theatrical successes of its time and remains as popular today for its dramatic power and, above all, for its good-natured, passionate and swashbuckling hero."--Jacket.

Based on the life of a little known writer, Rostand's hero has become a figure of theatrical legend: Cyrano, with the nose of a clown and the soul of a poet, is by turns comic and sad, as reckless in love as in war, and never at a loss for words.

Cyrano, the gallant soldier and brilliant wit, also is a timid lover, and, because of his nose, woos his love by proxy of a more handsome man.

`Tonight When I make my sweeping bow at heaven's gate, One thing I shall still possess, at any rate, Unscathed, something outlasting mortal flesh, And that is ... My panache.'The first English translation of Cyrano de Bergerac, in 1898, introduced the word panache into the English language. This single word summed up Rostand's rejection of the social realism which dominated late nineteenth-century theatre. He wrote his `heroic comedy', unfashionably, in verse, and set itin the reign of Louis XIII and the Three Musketeers. Based on the life of a little known writer, Rostand's hero has become a figure of theatrical legend: Cyrano, with the nose of a clown and the soul of a poet, is by turns comic and sad, as reckless in love as in war, and never at a loss for words.Audiences immediately took him to their hearts, and since the triumphant opening night in December 1897 - at the height of the Dreyfus Affair - the play has never lost its appeal.The text is accompanied by notes and a full introduction which sets the play in its literary and historical context. Christopher Fry's acclaimed translation into `chiming couplets' represents the homage of one verse dramatist to another.

From the acclaimed author of The Last Wife and The Virgin Trial comes a new adaptation of one of the finest love stories ever told. Cyrano de Bergerac is a swashbuckling seventeenth-century swordsman who can do anything . . . except tell Roxane, the woman he loves, how he feels. He's just too self-conscious about his unusually large nose. Roxane finds romance in words, and Cyrano is full of them, so when he sees the chance to ghostwrite love letters to her from an inarticulate, love-struck cadet, he takes it--but can he ever reveal himself? Could she ever love him for who he is? In turns funny, tender, and self-aware, this classic tale about the exquisite distress of loving from afar will find its way into the hearts of even the most skeptical.

Presents the classic play about an unattractive swordsman who falls in love with a beautiful woman, but courts her for a handsome but slow-witted suitor and contains a timeline of significant events, outline of themes and plots, explanatory notes, and critical analysis.

Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a remarkable duelist, he is a gifted, joyful poet and is also shown to be a musician. However, he has an extremely large nose, which is a _target for his own self-doubt. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful Roxane, as he believes that his ugliness forbids him to "dream of being loved by even an ugly woman.".

.

Widely considered the most popular modern French play, Cyrano de Bergerac has dazzled audiences with its wit and eloquence since it premiered in 1897. Cyrano, a quarrelsome, hot-tempered swordsman, as famous for his dueling skills and pugnacity as for his inordinately long nose, is hopelessly enamored of the beautiful Roxane. She, in turn, is in love with Christian, a handsome but inarticulate and slow-witted suitor. Asked for help by Christian in wooing Roxane, Cyrano pours out his heart in romantic dialogues - delivered under cover of night and dense foliage - and through ardent love letters written in the name of Christian. Presented here in a rich blank verse translation by poet Louis Untermeyer, this beloved romantic comedy will be warmly received by theater buffs as well as students and teachers of drama and literature.

Swordsman, Philosopher, Poet, Raconteur Cyrano de Bergerac is all these things, but none of them makes him happy. What he desires above all is the love of the beautiful Roxane. But his problem is as plain as the nose on his face. Surely he is too ugly ever to be loved? Salvation of a kind arrives in the form of the handsome yet tongue-tied Christian de Neuvillette might not Cyrano's eloquence and Christian s beauty together win Roxane? Yet duelling foes, powerful rivals, and a war against Spain will all put our hero to the test before he finds his way at last into his lady's arms.

Regarded as one of the greatest dramas ever written, Cyrano de Bergerac is the story of the silver-tongued soldier whose unfortunate looks drive him to woo his love by speaking for his handsome but dull-witted rival. Cyrano de Bergerac occupies a unique place in the modern theater. Deliberately disavowing realism and contemporary relevance, Edmond Rostand's masterpiece represents a turning back in both time and spirit to an earlier age of high adventure and soaring idealism. Its magnificent hero, Cyrano--noble of soul and grotesque in appearance, gallant Gascon soldier, brilliant wit, and timid lover, alternately comic, heroic, tragic--represents one of the most challenging of all acting roles in its complexity and mercurial changes of mood. From its original production to the present day, Cyrano de Bergerac has enjoyed a charmed existence on the stage, its unflagging pace of action and eloquence of language enchanting critics and public alike. Here, in a superlative translation, is the ultimate triumph of the great French romantic tradition--a work which, in the words of the French critic Lemaître, "prolongs, unites and blends...three centuries of comic fantasy and moral grace."   Translated by Lowell Bair With an Introduction by Eteel Lawson and an Afterword by Cynthia B.

Cyrano, in a selfless act of love, woos Roxane on Christian's behalf, writing his love letters, feeding him his lines. Romance. Tragedy. Comedy. Excitement. A universal, actionpacked love story which has been a popular hit on the stage for over a century and the inspiration for countless films. This version of the classic by Ranjit Bolt opened at Bristol Old Vic in May 2007.

Cyrano is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents whose whimsical aptitude for the spoken word is overshadowed by an attribute that is iconic, outrageous and gigantic - his nose. How can the curiously-snouted Cyrano ever hope to win the affections of the beautiful Roxane?

Based on the real life of the seventeenth century French dramatist of the same name, "Cyrano de Bergerac" is Edmond Rostand's classic romantic play. Cyrano, a cadet in the French Army, is a talented duelist, poet, and musician, however he has extreme self-doubt in matters of love due to the large size of his nose. Cyrano is conflicted by his inability to summon the confidence to tell the woman that he adores, Roxane, how he truly feels. He writes her a letter expressing his love with the intent of giving it to her during a rendezvous, however, when he learns that Roxane is in love with another, a handsome new cadet, Christian de Neuvillette, he withholds his admission. Christian lacks the intellect and wit to woo Roxane and enlists the help of Cyrano who, despite being against his own self-interest, agrees. First performed in 1897, "Cyrano de Bergerac", is one of the most popular plays in the French language, which brilliantly dramatizes the idea that beauty is only skin deep and that true love is about more than just physical attractiveness. This edition follows the translation of Gladys Thomas and Mary F. Guillemard and includes an introduction by W. P. Trent.

With energetically witty English verse throughout, Anthony Burgess' translation of this well-loved 19th-century French classic about the swordsman-poet with the nose too large to be taken seriously was first acclaimed in the 1985 Royal Shakespeare Company production starring Derek Jacobi, then in the revival with Antony Sher in 1997, as well as providing the subtitles for the film version with Gerard Depardieu.

Features the dramatic play about Cyrano de Bergerac, a seventeenth-century soldier and philosopher who is secretly in love with the beautiful Roxane. Cyrano lacks the courage to woo her for himself because of his grotesquely long nose, so he writes the love letters that his tongue-tied friend Christian uses to court her.

A new verse translation and adaptation of Rostand's classic play, adapted to 1930's India.

Cyrano de Bergerac struck a responsive chord when first performed in 1897. Its unashamed glorification of panache, the heroic individualism of a bygone age allied to an unimpeachable ethical code, flattered and soothed a country shaken by war and financial scandals, and low in self-esteem. With great empathy, the devout Rostand portrays a proud freethinker who, in a world where little can be cured and much has to be endured, is always equal to the situation, at least linguistically. This delicate balance between humour and pathos is an example of the rare genre of com¿die h¿ro¿que. The demanding role of Cyrano has proved an irresistible challenge to the monsters sacr¿s of stage and screen, recently to the greatest of them all, G¿rard Depardieu.

Regarded as one of the greatest dramas ever written, this story of the silver-tongued soldier whose unfortunate looks drive him to woo his love by speaking for his handsome but dull-witted rival is beloved around the world. Revised reissue.

Cyrano de Bergerac is a man with the gift of language, but a strong temper and unusually large nose. Cyrano finds himself deep in love with Lady Roxane, but due to his unfortunate appearance refrains from expressing his feelings. When Cyrano learns that Roxane is in love with the handsome suitor Christian, he eagerly assists Christian in wooing Roxane. Cyrano is able to express his own affection for Roxane in eloquent verse and impassioned letters, all under the ruse of Christian's name.

His uniform is picturesque; a hat with triple plume Doublet, cape, and sword - worn like a peacock's tail. From the eyebrows up, he's all feathers From the neck down, it's buckle and swash - But squeezed between is a nose - a nose... A modest poet such as I must fail entirely To describe this gross, immodest, monstrous nose. Cyrano de Bergerac, a brilliant poet and swordsman, is deeply in love with his brilliant and beautiful cousin Roxane. Each day of his life is lived only for her - every poem he writes, every duel he fights.

A new version of the classic French romantic comedy from Peter Oswald.Cursed with the looks of a clown, he weaves his secret longing into love letters of exquisite beauty that he will never dare to send. All he needs is a perfect nose to match his perfect prose. The handsome Christian has also fallen for Roxane - but while he looks like a god, he sounds like a fool.Sacrificing physical love for fantasy, Cyrano hands his words of love to Christian to speak for them both. Will Roxane fall for the 'perfect' man? Can Cyrano exist with only half her heart? Is true love more than skin deep?

Cyrano, a Gascon poet and swordsman notorious for his long nose, is in love with Roxane, but is afraid she will reject him because of his appearance.

Hercule-Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac was a French dramatist and duelist. He is now best remembered for the works of fiction which have been woven, often very loosely, around his life story, most notably the 1897 play by Edmond Rostand. In these fictional works he is featured with an overly large nose, which people would travel from miles around to see. Portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, though not nearly as large as described by Rostand.

Poet and soldier, brawler and charmer, Cyrano de Bergerac is desperately in love with Roxane, the most beautiful woman in Paris. But there is one very large problem - he has a nose of stupendous size and believes she will never see past it to return his feelings.

Ive been around theater for quite a while, and I was lucky enough to be in this play twice, once as Cyrano. Ive done Shakespeare, ONeill, Chekhov...and Ive never been in a play that comes close to this in terms of dramatic force. Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet (nobleman serving as a soldier) in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a remarkable duelist, he is a gifted, joyful poet and is also shown to be a musician. However, he has an extremely large nose, which is the reason for his own self-doubt. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful and intellectual heiress Roxane, as he believes that his ugliness denies him the dream of being loved by even an ugly woman. The fashion in French theater at the time it was written was simple domestic drama: husbands and wives and their various conflicts. This play exploded on the scene and there was extremely strong public reaction. (I think there may even have been riots.) For modern American audiences, I must confess, its a pretty long haul. Even with some judicious cutting, its tough to get the thing down close to three hours. But what a ride! Poetry, fight scenes, comedy, tears...its just incredible. In all the plays Ive done, Ive never done one that comes so close to, literally, the meaning of life. Why are we here? What makes human beings act the way they do? Why do people try things that are clearly impossible? Its all in there. I knew someone in college who gave this paperback edition to everyone he knew as a gift, because it spoke so strongly to him. Looking back on it now, Im amazed that I was able to memorize all the text, because Im convinced that this is the longest role in Western theater...longer than Hamlet, I think. This translation has been called the greatest translation of poetry ever, and while Im not a poetry student, I can agree. Squishing the 6-foot French lines into 5-foot English lines and still retaining the dramatic flow must have been a daunting task. Anyway, its the greatest play I have ever seen, read or performed.

Contains the French text of the play about a swashbuckling Cyrano de Bergerac who secretly loves his cousin Roxane but believes he is too ugly to ever win her affection.

Since its debut in 1897, "Cyrano de Bergerac" has been considered the ultimate triumph of the great French romantic tradition. This edition features a new Introduction. Original.

This French play written entirely in verse is based on the life of Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano is known for being a poet, musician and a soldier with skill at dueling. He is in love with Roxane, but his self-doubt, stemming form his overly large nose, has him afraid to declare his love. Roxane tells Cyrano she loves Christian and begs him to protect him. Both men are in love with Roxane and Cyrano agrees to help Christian with love letters for her. Things go amiss and the plot entangles these three in a classic love triangle with some interesting twists.

"Comic poet and dazzling swordsman, Cyrano is hopelessly in love with Roxane. But Roxane loves the dashing Christian. Cyrano, in a selfless act of love, woos Roxane on Christian's behalf, writing his love letters, feeding him his lines."--Back cover.

Edmond Rostand's bittersweet melodrama tells the tale of France's master swordsman--Cyrano de Bergerac, a valiant soldier cursed with the face of a clown. Gallantry, love, poetry, and failure all combine in this timeless classic, further enhanced by Kyle Baker's captivating illustrations.

Cyrano de Bergerac was a French dramatist and duelist from the seventeenth century. In fictional works about his life he is featured with an overly large nose, which people would travel from miles around to see.This work is a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand (1868-1918) was a French poet and dramatist. Although there was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, the play is a fictionalization of his life that follows the broad outlines of it in five acts.The entire play is written in verse, in rhyming couplets of 12 syllables per line, very close to the Alexandrine format, but the verses sometimes lack a caesura. It is also meticulously researched, down to the names of the members of the Académie française and the dames précieuses glimpsed before the performance in the first scene.The play has been translated and performed many times, and is responsible for introducing the word "panache" into the English language. Cyrano is in fact famed for his panache, and the play ends with him saying "My panache." just before his death.

This is a classic tale set in 17th century Paris. Renowned for his charm and bravery, the swashbuckler Cyrano de Bergerac believes that his enormous nose makes him unloveable. While secretly in love with Roxane, he agrees to help his rival, the handsome Christian de Neuvillette win her heart. The poetic powers of Cyrano's letters signed in Christian's name causes Roxane to swoon and fall deeply in love with Christian. While Christian and Cyrano are called away to war, Roxane continues to receive Cyrano's letters signed in Christian's name. Roxane can no longer tolerate being apart from Christian and she drives through enemy lines to see him again. When Christian realizes the power that Cyrano's letters have had over Roxane, he realizes that it is Cyrano's qualities that she loves, not his own. He tries to convince Cyrano to tell Roxane the truth. Before Cyrano can come clean, Christian is mortally wounded and dies happily because Cyrano said, "I have told her; it is you she loves." For several years to come, Cyrano visits Roxane regularly without ever having told her his secret. Unbeknownst to Roxane, Cyrano is dying and when he recites Christian's last letter to her, Roxane realizes that it is Cyrano that she loves.

The nineteenth-century French classic about the swordsman-poet with the nose too large to be taken seriously, in an acclaimed English translation by Anthony Burgess. This translation of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican Theatre, London, in July 1983, with Derek Jacobi as Cyrano. Burgess's translation was subsequently used as the basis of the sub-titles for the 1990 film version of Cyrano de Bergerac starring Gérard Depardieu.

Rostand's play, written in rhyming verse, tells the story of the eloquent but unattractive de Bergerac and his unlikely friendship with the more physically appealing but verbally clumsy Christian.

The two most famous English translations are those by Brian Hooker and Anthony Burgess.Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet (nobleman serving as a soldier) in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a remarkable duelist, he is a gifted, joyful poet and is also a musician. However, he has an extremely large nose, which causes him to doubt himself. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful and intellectual Roxane, as he believes that his ugliness would prevent him the "dream of being loved by even an ugly woman."The play opens in Paris, 1640, in the theatre of the Hôtel Burgundy. Members of the audience slowly arrive, representing a cross-section of Parisian society from pickpockets to nobility. Christian de Neuvillette, a handsome new cadet, arrives with Lignière, a drunkard who he hopes will identify the young woman with whom he has fallen in love. Lignière recognizes her as Roxane, and tells Christian about her and the Count De Guiche's scheme to marry her off to the compliant Viscount Valvert. Meanwhile, Ragueneau and Le Bret are expecting Cyrano de Bergerac, who has banished the actor Montfleury from the stage for a month. After Lignière leaves, Christian intercepts a pickpocket and, in return for his freedom, the pickpocket tells Christian of a plot against Lignière. Christian departs to try to warn him.The play "Clorise" begins with Montfleury's entrance. Cyrano disrupts the play, forces Montfleury off stage, and compensates the manager for the loss of admission fees. The crowd is going to disperse when Cyrano lashes out at a pesky busybody, then is confronted by Valvert and duels with him while composing a ballade, wounding (and possibly killing) him as he ends the refrain (as promised: he ends each refrain with "When I end the refrain, 'Thrust Home'.") When the crowd has cleared the theater, Cyrano and Le Bret remain behind, and Cyrano confesses his love for Roxane. Roxane's duenna then arrives, and asks where Roxane may meet Cyrano privately. Lignière is then brought to Cyrano, having learned that one hundred hired thugs are waiting to ambush him on his way home. Cyrano, now emboldened, vows to take on the entire mob single-handed, and he leads a procession of officers, actors and musicians to the Porte de Nesle.

The classic tale of romance and tragedy tells the touching story of the big-nosed poet and philosopher Cyrano who feeds the handsome but empty-headed Christian the honeyed words to win the love of the beautiful Roxanne.

Cyrano de Bergerac - Edmond Rostand. A translation into English by A. S. Kline. Rostand's Cyrano is a fiction invoking the real Cyrano de Bergerac, a seventeenth century French playwright, poet, and duellist, who was an early creator of science-fiction fantasy, in particular a comic history of a journey to the Moon. From the scanty details of the real Cyrano's life documented by his friend Henri Le Bret, Rostand created a larger than life comic hero, whose wit, courage, spirit and ability partially overcome his physical defect, an embarrassingly large nose. Rostand cleverly and meticulously evokes the historical period in which his hero lived. The play is written in rhyming verse, as is this translation, stylistically supporting some of the play's best wit and verbal effects. The plot centres around Cyrano's unrequited and unrecognised love for Roxanne; his indomitable courage in the face of disappointment and failure; and the many ways in which he defends himself and attacks his enemies while never losing his sense of humour, his delight in words, and his panache. There are moments of rare beauty and pathos in the verse, and the overall effect certainly justifies the immense enthusiasm that greeted its first performances, and the many revivals of the play since, especially in film adaptation.

Précédé en tous lieux par un nez imposant, Cyrano de Bergerac est gascon, fine lame et poète. Entre duels à l'épée et joutes verbales, Cyrano va devoir choisir entre aider Christian à séduire Roxanne ou dévoiler son amour à la belle.

Provoqué par un fâcheux, Cyrano se moque audacieusement de lui-même et de son nez, objet de sa disgrâce. Séduire Roxane ? Il n'ose y songer. Mais puisqu'elle aime Christian, un cadet de Gascogne qui brille plus par son apparence que par ses reparties, pourquoi ne pas tenter une expérience ? "Je serai ton esprit, tu seras ma beauté", dit Cyrano à son rival. "Tu marcheras, j'irai dans l'ombre à ton côté." Jeu étrange et dangereux. Christian ne s'y trompe pas ; à travers lui, la belle Roxane en aime un autre. Mais Cyrano, s'il entrevoit le bonheur un instant, ne peut oublier son physique ingrat.

Cyrano de Bergerac est l'une des pièces les plus populaires du théâtre français, et la plus célèbre de son auteur, Edmond Rostand. Librement inspirée de la vie et de l'oeuvre de l'écrivain libertin Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655), elle est représentée pour la première fois le 28 décembre 18971, au Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, à Paris.La pièce est difficile à jouer : elle fait intervenir un grand nombre de personnages, elle est longue, le rôle-titre est particulièrement imposant (plus de 1600 vers), les décors sont très différents d'un acte à l'autre et elle comporte une scène de bataille. Le succès en était si peu assuré qu'Edmond Rostand lui-même, redoutant un échec, se confondit en excuses auprès de l'acteur Coquelin, le jour de la générale, pour l'avoir « entraîné dans une pareille aventure ». La suite des évènements démentit les craintes de l'auteur : ce fut un triomphe ; non seulement la représentation fut saluée par vingt minutes ininterrompues d'applaudissements, mais le ministre des Finances Georges Cochery vint dans la loge épingler sa propre Légion d'honneur sur la poitrine de l'auteur en expliquant : « Je me permets de prendre un peu d'avance. » Rostand reçut en effet officiellement la décoration quelques jours plus tard, le 1er janvier 1898.Le succès de la pièce ne s'est jamais démenti, en France (où elle est la pièce la plus jouée) comme à l'étranger. Le personnage de Cyrano est devenu, dans la littérature française, un archétype humain au même titre qu'Hamlet ou Don Quichotte (auquel il tire son chapeau dans la pièce). Deux statues du personnage ont été érigées sur des places de Bergerac, en Dordogne, quoiqu'il n'existe aucun lien entre cette ville et le véritable Cyrano.

Inspirado libremente en la vida de Cyrano de Bergerac, un estrafalario escritor y filâosofo gascâon del siglo xvii, este drama de capa y espada, pleno de romanticismo, de Edmond Rostand obtuvo durante su estreno en 1897 un âexito clamoroso. El protagonista, espadachâin terrible, polemista violento, brillantemente locuaz y câelebre por su desproporcionada nariz, oculta una pasiâon avasalladora por su prima Roxana, que, a su vez, estâa enamorada de Christian, un guapo cadete carente de ingenio. Mediante un pacto, Cyrano escribirâa, enajenado por un juego que lo embriaga y angustia, las intensas cartas de amor que su rival envâia a la joven. Sâolo mucho tiempo despuâes de la muerte de Christian, cuando ya es imposible recuperar el tiempo perdido, se descubrirâa la verdad. La obra ha dado lugar a cuatro âoperas y a diversas pelâiculas, de las que destacan las protagonizadas por Josâe Ferrer (1945) y por Gâerard Depardieu (1990). Esta traducciâon de Mauro Armiäno respeta la mâetrica del original francâes

"Cyrano de Bergerac" es una obra teatral escrita por Edmond Rostand y publicada por primera vez en 1897. Es una de las más populares del teatro francés y ha sido adaptada numerosas veces a distintos formatos. La historia se centra en Cyrano, un valiente cadete francés conocido por su agudo ingenio, habilidades en la esgrima y, sobre todo, por su nariz excepcionalmente grande. Aunque Cyrano es un talentoso poeta, su apariencia lo hace sentir inseguro y cree que nunca será digno del amor de su prima, Roxane. Sin embargo, ayuda a otro hombre, Christian, a cortejarla escribiendo hermosas cartas en su nombre, demostrando un amor desinteresado y trágico.

Ariel Juvenil recoge las obras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal, en una versión adaptada con ilustraciones tipo cómic. Cyrano de Bergerac es parte de esta gran colección.Hércules Sabiniano Cyrano de Bergerac es personaje virtuoso: valiente, justo, ocurrente y amante de la poesía; sin embargo, físicamente no es atractivo -pues, su nariz es como el espolón de un navío-. Ha vivido toda su vida enamorado de una bella dama, su prima y mejor amiga, Roxana. Le resulta difícil expresar sus verdaderos sentimientos por su condición. Roxana está enamorada de Cristian de Neuvillette, cadete joven de agraciada apariencia, que no posee dotes de poeta. Cyrano ve en Cristian un medio para expresar su amor -él solo tendría que hacer y decir lo que Cyrano indique-, con este acuerdo los dos ganarían: Cristian tendría el amor de Roxana y Cyrano ya no escondería más sus sentimientos. Tras varios infortunios, Roxana, de la manera más trágica, se entera del amor de Cyrano. Ariel Juvenil Ilustrada publica esta adaptación en prosa, de la comedia heroica en verso, Cyrano de Bergerac.
