Review of the novel i am rreading right now :
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Humorously honest and enjoyable, Cyrano de Bergerac is a charming theatre piece of Edmond Rostand. It explains a love story between a French 'Renaissance Man' with a ridiculously long nose and thousands of enemies. As a play, the text is quick and engaging but retains your attention after turning the last page. The play comically explores the well taught about love and reason. Cyrano, the creative protagonist, is a talented actor, poet, philosopher, musician, and much more. However remarkable his life is, the only thing that he has to face to is his hideous nose.
Christian, Cyrano's comrade, loves the same woman that Cyrano has been thinking about, for years : his cousin Roxane! Roxane and Cyrano casualy in contact but his shyness creates a certain distance between them. On his side, Christian has trouble connecting with he, to demand Roxane. Since Roxane is an intellectual, high-minded woman with a penchant for romantic poetry, the handsome Christian begs for Cyrano's help to find the right words to reach her. Cyrano and Christian partner up to create the ultimate literary perfect man by combining Cyrano's speech talent to Christian’s handsomeness to reach the heart of their beloved a night at a blacony. Roxane falls in love according to Christian's plan but the when war with the Spanish breaks out, Cyrano and Christian have the duty to run to the battle to defend France.
