Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand

Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand

The nineteenth-century French classic about the swordsman-poet with the nose too large to be taken seriously, in an acclaimed English translation by Anthony Burgess.

'Anthony Burgess's ingenious translation serves Rostand's wit while adding a few fillips of its own'

* New York Times *

'Emotional depth Rostand himself would surely have envied.. Burgess' extravagant verse keeps its contours, yet trips off the tongue almost as though it were contemporary speech'

* The Times *

'The bounce and brilliance of Anthony Burgess' translation'
