Cyrano de Bergerac

Author: Edmond Rostand
Copyright: 2003
Rating: 9/10
Pages: 240
Genre: Classic
Reviewer: The Dark Knight

Amongst the many books in the canon of literature, Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac sticks out in my mind. Cyrano de Bergerac is about a brave Frenchman who has a big heart and a big nose. He falls desperately in love with Roxane, but the only problem is, he is afraid to tell her because he fears she won’t get over his disfigurement. There is another who is in love with Roxane, the young Christian. Roxane falls head over heels for Christian and Cyrano agrees to help him win her heart by writing wonderful love letters for Christian and letting Roxane think that Christian is the author.

I think that Cyrano is a great book because it has a little bit of everything for everyone. There are adventurous scenes, romantic scenes, and humorous scenes. Rostand really knew how to combine emotions. If you are looking for a book that has adventure, humor, and romance, then check out Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac!
