Edmond Rostand
Savien Cyrano de Bergerac (1619-1655) French soldier, satirist, and dramatist, whose life has been the basis of many romantic but unhistorical legends. The best-known of them is Edmond Rostand’s verse drama Cyrano de Bergerac (1897). Bergerac’s major works were two posthumously published accounts of fantastic voyages, VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (1657) and L’HISTOIRE DES TATS ET EMPIRES DU SOLEIL (1662).
