Excerpt from Cyrano De Bergerac: Comédie Héroïque En Cinq ActesBut there is still another side to the greatness of Cyrano a'e Bergerac, and one which necessarily must remain unrevealed to all but special students of French literature. The whole play is an extraordinary tour de force, in that it reproduces with most surprising accuracy not only the life and character of Cyrano, but also the whole spirit of the first half of the seventeenth century. One has only to read the life of Cyrano de Bergerac as given by Le Bret and by the Bibliophile Jacob to see how minutely Rostand has followed these authorities. He has read, digested, and assimilated not only the works but even the vocabulary of the prototype of his hero in certain passages the language is a mosaic from Cyrano's own works, put together with consummate skill. In thus reproducing the spirit and even the language of the time, Cyrano d'e Bergerac is worthy to be compared with Thackeray's Henry Esmond'.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
