Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand Translated by Louis Untermeyer

31141431

Sometime ago, I subscribed to The Easton Press' 100 greatest books. I have a thing for really nice, leather bound books--they are so beautiful and such a joy to read! Currently, I have 24 of the 100 and I take one down from time to time to read. This one I started over the summer, put it down when school started and have finished it over Christmas break. This is one, I probably would never have decided to read on my own, but because it was part of the 100 I decided to read it. I, of course, am familiar with the story, but found myself pleasantly surprised and really enjoying the story. It was difficult at first to adjust to reading the language and the way the text was presented in play form, but I quickly became used to that and just enjoyed what is a classic story that is still a great read today!
