FROM THE PUBLISHER - 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 Gaston soldier, brilliant wit and timid lover, alternately comic, heroic, and 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 new translation, is the ultimate triumph of the great French romantic tradition-a work which, in the words of the French critic Lemaitre, 'prolongs, unites and blends., three centuries of comic fantasy and moral grace.' A new translation by Lowell Bair. With an afterword by Henry Hewes. . inventory #39700. Codice articolo z39700
