Le nez de Cyrano s'est mis en travers de son cœur. La belle Roxane aime ailleurs, en l'espèce un cadet sans esprit mais de belle apparence, Christian de Neuvillette.La pièce de Rostand met en scène la tragique complicité entre deux moitiés d'homme, et s'achève sur une évidence en forme d'espérance : sous les traits de Christian, ce n'était pas moins que l'âme de Cyrano qu'aimait Roxane.Avec ce drame en cinq actes, au travers des reprises ou des adaptations cinématographiques, Rostand a connu et connaît un triomphe ininterrompu et planétaire. Pourquoi? À cause des qualités d'écriture, des vertus dramatiques ou de la réussite du personnage principal de la pièce? Sans doute, pour une part. Mais la raison profonde tient à son art de caresser l'un de nos plus anciens mythes : il n'est pas de justice ici-bas, ni d'amour heureux. Presque pas. Et tout est dans cette manière de nous camper sur cette frontière, entre rêve et réalité, entre lune et terre. [babelio.com].

Work Description

This adaptation of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac by celebrated graphic novelist Kyle Baker and writer Peter David presents the tragedy and romance of Rostand's 17th century romance story. Cyrano de Bergerac yearns to confess his love to his cousin Roxanne; he is a talented poet and musician who should have no trouble doing so. Yet his large nose has convinced him that no woman would ever be interested in him. When Cyrano finds that Roxanne is enamored with the handsome Christian de Neuvillette, he offers to use his poetic prowess to help Christian win Roxanne's heart. As the three's lives intertwine throughout the years, Rostand spins a tale of romance and heartbreak that is wonderfully captured by Peter David and Kyle Baker.
