Its unashamed glorification of panache, the heroic individualism of a bygone age allied to an unimpeachable ethical code, flattered and soothed a country shaken by war and financial scandals, and low in self-esteem. \u003cbr\u003eWith great empathy, the devout Rostand portrays a proud freethinker who, in a world where little can be cured and much has to be endured, is always equal to the situation, at least linguistically. This delicate balance between humour and pathos is an example of the rare genre of \u003ci\u003ecomédie héroïque\u003c\/i\u003e. The demanding role of Cyrano has proved an irresistible challenge to the \u003ci\u003emonsters sacrés\u003c\/i\u003e of stage and screen, recently to the greatest of them all, Gérard Depardieu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmond Rostand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853993727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853993725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 5.46w x 0.73d","brand":"Edmond Rostand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486204473599,"sku":"9781853993725","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_890e8df4-5a0b-4f72-bfc2-65326c743104.jpg?v=1778054345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rostand-edmond-rostand-9781853993725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
