1954 Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand vintage paperback book home decor Story of a man with a large nose and self doubt
The 1954 vintage paperback edition of *Cyrano de Bergerac* by Edmond Rostand tells the story of Cyrano, a skilled poet, swordsman, and soldier with a flamboyant personality but a deeply rooted insecurity about his unusually large nose. Despite his talents, Cyrano doubts his worthiness of love due to his appearance. He secretly loves his beautiful cousin, Roxane, but instead helps the handsome yet tongue-tied Christian win her affections by providing eloquent letters and poetic words to woo her. Through this self-sacrificing act, Cyrano expresses his love indirectly, ultimately revealing the power of inner beauty and the tragedy of unspoken desire.
