Cyrano de Bergerac is a play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand. There was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, and the play is a fictionalisation.

A year before my grandfather was born. I had not heard of this Cyrano character, but he seems to have been headed down the wrong path.

I have several copies of the play. Very romantically poetic, something I'm not into unless it's expertly done. More specifically I love many period swashbuckling novels and movies, from obscure to the classics. (I wish I'd become aware to the subtleties of propaganda way back when, not just to be aware, but be analytical.) I love the 2 movies too, and many of the variations on the themes. There's a new Cyrano movie coming out but it looks terribly woke despite me wanting so much to like it.
