1619–1655

1 standalone book

Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac was a French novelist and dramatist and duellist who lived from 1619 to 1655, now best remembered for the many works of fiction woven around his life story. In these fictional works he is featured with an overly large nose; portraits suggest he did have a big nose, though not as large as later described in Edmond Rostand's play and subsequent works about him.
