Read

"Συρανό δε Μπερζεράκ" by Edmond Rostand is a play written in 1897. Set in 17th-century Paris, it tells the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, a brilliant poet and swordsman cursed with an enormous nose that makes him doubt his worth. Though deeply in love with his beautiful cousin Roxane, he believes himself too ugly for her affection. When Roxane falls for the handsome but tongue-tied Christian, Cyrano makes a fateful decision: to write passionate love letters on Christian's behalf, hiding his own heart behind another man's face.
