Edmond Roustan is a French playwright, poet and novelist, the youngest writer elected to compose a musical for the French Academy. He is also the pioneer of the heroic play, and the owner of the complex romantic plot that combines soul and thought; That is, between absolute realism and excessive romance. Edmond Eugene Alexis Rostan was born in 1868 AD in the charming French coastal city of Marseille, which he inherited from its brilliant and kind-hearted people, and grew up in a wealthy family, educated and fond of poetry and music. His ancestors were Spaniards from Cadiz; These Spanish roots, which place chivalry at the rank of preference and bragging, made him tend to glorify the spirit of chivalry in his plays. His father, Eugène Rostan, before he took his place in the Social Sciences Academy due to his fame in political economy, was a poet who organized delicate poetry, and a book was published for him called “The Coral Rendezvous,” in which the father mentions his son in more than one piece. Edmond began his education by joining the Lycée in Marseille, and his father sent him to Paris; In order to complete his studies at the Stanislas Institute, the prestigious Parisian institute where he studied literature, philosophy, history and rhetoric at the hands of the famous literary historian, René Domic. Then the writer joined the School of Law and obtained his degree from it. The French Academy awarded him the "Manifesto" award for the treatise he wrote on "Emotional and Natural Stories". Edmund revolted against the approach of the natural realist school and revolutionized the field of literature; Where he married in his writings between romance and realism, contrary to the approach of the realist school, which reduced the aesthetics of life to the abstract observation of reality. Edmund left an immortal literary legacy, beginning with a poetry book called "Edmond Rostan". He also presented his masterpiece "Cyrano de Bergerac", the play "The Romantics" and "The Little Eagle". He passed away in 1918.

Book Description

Cyrano de Bergerac review by Edmond Rostand

This is Edmond Rostand's immortal play in which chivalry and wit, bravery and love are forever captured in the timeless spirit of romance. Set in Louis XIII's reign, it is the moving and exciting drama of one of the finest swordsmen in France, gallant soldier, brilliant wit, tragic poet-lover with the face of a clown. Rostand's extraordinary lyric powers gave birth to a universal hero--Cyrano De Bergerac--and ensured his own reputation as author of one of the best-loved plays in the literature of the stage.
This translation, by the American poet Brian Hooker, is nearly as famous as the original play itself, and is generally considered to be one of the finest English verse translations ever written.
