"Cyrano de Bergerac: Viisinäytöksinen runomittainen sankarinäytelmä" by Edmond Rostand is a verse play written in 1897. The story follows Cyrano, a brilliant poet and swordsman in the French Army, whose large nose prevents him from confessing his love to his cousin Roxane. When Roxane falls for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian, Cyrano agrees to help by secretly writing love letters in Christian's name. This romantic tale of unrequited love, deception, and self-sacrifice unfolds entirely in rhyming verse. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
