Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
Swordsman, soldier, poet...and possessor of the biggest nose in all of France! Cyrano de Bergerac was all this and more, for behind his grotesque face beat the heart of a lover. And, being Cyrano, who could he fall in love with but the most beautiful woman in Paris?From this conflict of nose versus heart springs one of the most uproarious, tender, funny, painful, and action-packed stories of all time - a tale that has its roots in truth, for Cyrano de Bergerac really existed.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Oberon uses magic to make Titania fall in love with a weaver named Bottom, in an effort to distract Titania from the custody battle.

But much of the charm and wit comes from the words and timing in Shaw's original play. Here are the characters of Professor Higgins, his friend Colonel Pickering, and their charge, Eliza Doolittle.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narration suffered from a lack of intentional variety that could have batter differentiated who was actually speaking.

My opinion
I've always loved the many movies about Cyrano, so I wanted to read the book. The narrator, Flo Gibson, was a great choice. I enjoyed listening and felt the same for Cyrano that I have always felt, empathy. He's one of my all-time favorite characters. Thank you.

I had to read this for school. So I decided to get the audiobook. I’m going to tell you right now this is not worth $15 anything it’s worth less than a penny. It’s annoying hard to keep up with and confusing. I do not recommend reading this. However you can see the play in person.

And, being Cyrano, who could he fall in love with but the most beautiful woman in Paris?From this conflict of nose versus heart springs one of the most uproarious, tender, funny, painful, and action-packed stories of all time - a tale that has its roots in truth, for Cyrano de Bergerac really existed.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 77
Cyrano is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents whose whimsical aptitude for the spoken word is overshadowed by an attribute that is iconic, outrageous, and gigantic - his nose. How can the curiously snouted Cyrano ever hope to win the affections of the beautiful Roxane?

With a heart as big as his nose, the poet-swordsman lends his words and wit to the handsome but tongue-tied Christian to win the hand of the fair Roxane. Spurned by love due to his enlarged nose, Cyrano transfers his love and poetic words for Roxane to Christian in order for him to win her love.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
Swordsman, soldier, poet...and possessor of the biggest nose in all of France! Cyrano de Bergerac was all this and more, for behind his grotesque face beat the heart of a lover. And, being Cyrano, who could he fall in love with but the most beautiful woman in Paris?From this conflict of nose versus heart springs one of the most uproarious, tender, funny, painful, and action-packed stories of all time - a tale that has its roots in truth, for Cyrano de Bergerac really existed.

Ce chef-d'œuvre du théâtre populaire valut à son auteur une gloire immédiate. Le soir de la représentation générale, c'est un déluge d'applaudissements qui appellent Edmond Rostand sur scène. Ce succès ne s'est jamais démenti et Cyrano de Bergerac, héros tragique et attachant, est entré dans le patrimoine universel. Peut-être parce qu'il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l'amour et du bonheur impossible.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2
"Cyrano de Bergerac", pièce écrite par Edmond Rostand en 1897, a renouvelé le théâtre d'alors. Certains ont voulu y voir le romantisme de "cape et d'épée", le panache, le courage qui stimulent un "renouveau moral", d'autres y ont vu la réconciliation des vertus du courage et de l'abnégation, sources "d'une force morale" qui prône la responsabilité de l'homme et de son destin... Mais par-delà tous ces débats, la clef du succès de "Cyrano", comme celle d'ailleurs de toutes les "bonnes" pièces ne repose-t-elle pas dans cette constatation émerveillée de Jack London.

Little is known about the Ancient Greek oral poet Homer, the supposed 8th century BC author of the world-read Iliad and his later masterpiece, The Odyssey. These classic epics provided the basis for Greek education and culture throughout the classical age and formed the backbone of humane education through the birth of the Roman Empire and the spread of Christianity.

Man’s Search for Meaning is the chilling yet inspirational story of Viktor Frankl’s struggle to hold on to hope during the unspeakable horrors of his years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of those he treated in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering, but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose.
