Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand ~ Full Audiobook [drama]
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand audiobook.
Genre: drama
Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac is a breathtaking theatrical masterpiece that fuses swashbuckling action, lightning-fast wit, and heartrending romance into a single unforgettable listening experience. At its center is Cyrano — a brilliant poet, fearless duelist, and charmingly self‑deprecating soul whose outsized nose masks a tender, unspoken love for the radiant Roxane. When Cyrano lends his voice and verses to the handsome but inarticulate Christian, a tender and tragic love triangle unfolds through letters, duels, and dazzling monologues that celebrate language, honor, and the courage to love without claiming glory. The play moves from riotous comedy to poignant pathos with breathtaking lyricism, and as an audiobook it comes alive: you’ll feel the clash of steel, the sting of mockery, the warmth of secret devotion, and the quiet ache of longing in every line. For listeners who crave eloquent verse, heroic bravado, and a story that will make them laugh out loud and reach for a handkerchief in the same breath, Cyrano de Bergerac is a timeless journey into the power of words and the price of hidden love — press play and let Rostand’s poetry carry you.
