About this book
Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac stands as one of the most celebrated French plays ever written, weaving together wit, passion, and profound tragedy in a timeless tale of love concealed and truth denied. Set in seventeenth-century Paris, this five-act masterpiece follows Cyrano, a brilliant swordsman and poet of extraordinary talent, whose sharp tongue and fearless spirit are matched only by his devastating insecurity. Burdened by physical appearance, Cyrano harbors a secret love for the enchanting Roxane, yet lacks the courage to reveal his heart. Instead, he becomes the hidden architect of her romance, crafting eloquent love letters for the handsome but simple-minded Christian while watching from the shadows as another man takes credit for his words.
This sweeping romantic drama explores the ache of unrequited love, the power of eloquence, and the sacrifices we make for those we cherish. Rostand crafted a narrative that transcends its period setting, offering audiences a deeply human story about vulnerability masked by bravado and the painful gap between outward appearance and inner worth.
Perfect for lovers of classic literature and theatrical romance, this audiobook captures the emotional depth and poetic brilliance that has captivated audiences for over a century. Experience Cyrano's unforgettable journey of passion, honor, and the bittersweet cost of loving in silence.
