Cyrano de Bergerac

Never was there a character in all of literature with such panache! This long-nosed hero was a jack of all trades: a lover, a fighter, a poet. Although his looks were sure to make a woman laugh, his words were what made their hearts take flight.The most heart-wrenching part of the novel is at the end when Roxanne realizes that her true love was-please excuse the punn- right under her nose.
