New York: The Heritage Press, 1954. Copyright 1954, this copy most likely from the early 1960s. Marbled design cloth with gilt on black spine lettering, 210 pages, light tan slipcase. The book looks and feels new and unread with some subtle spine fading, a couple of ink smudges in one margin from the printing process, tight binding, no names or other markings. The slipcase has some minor age-toning to the edges, structurally sound.. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Synopsis

The legendary romance about a quick-witted swashbuckler whose nose is as big as his heart Set during the reign of Louis XIII, Cyrano de Bergerac is a play about one of the most estimable characters in literature. Desperately in love with the beautiful Roxane but convinced she will never look past his titanic proboscis, Cyrano helps the tongue-tied Christian pen exquisite verse with which to woo her. Presented in an elegant new translation, this comic adventure continues to be popular for its dramatic power and, above all, its magnetic hero. * Includes an introduction, chronology, explanatory notes, and historical note
