Uma bela narrativa de amor e amizade. Já vi vários filmes, e li vários livros, que fazem referência a esta peça, mas nunca tive curiosidade de ler, até agora. Gostei bastante.

Cette pièce est définitivement l’une des plus grandes histoires d’amour jamais écrites. On a beau avoir vu le film des dizaines de fois, l’écriture poétique d’Edmond Rostand arrive toujours à nous émouvoir à chaque fois. Bien que le voir en film soit plus percutant, j’ai adoré redécouvrir le texte avec plus de profondeur. J’ai eu l’impression que l’amitié entre Cyrano et Christian était plus puissante dans la pièce, la scène où il le pousse à dévoiler la vérité à Roxane est absolument magnifique.
Such a classic love story, and so beautifully written. I remember watching the 1950 film version of it in the early 1960's and being enthralled by the swashbuckling sword fighting. And then I loved Steve Martin's retelling in 1987 in Roxanne. So by 2022 it was probably time for me to read it. Cyrano was a true hero, an honorable man, a romantic. A poet whose words would melt Roxanne's heart. As gifted as Cyrano was though, he never believed that a woman could love him, because of his outsized nose that he thought was hideous and that he knew would keep him from love. He was wrong, but would he live to know this?

Roxanne was more relatable, given it being written so much more contemporarily. Plus, it had 100% more Steve Martin, which is never amiss.
