I failed my saving roll... it's a small book, which makes it more poignant.

This is perhaps the first science fiction book published in Europe. it was published after the death of its author Cyrano de Bergerac, by his best friend Le Bret in his memory and to follow a last will.

It's a humanist critique on mores, and also has rockets as a means to reach the Moon.

L’IGNORANT
Vous… heu… vous soignez… heu… vous… vous êtes… soignant.
SOINRANO
Ah ! Non ! c’est un peu court, jeune homme !
On pouvait dire… Oh ! Dieu !... bien des choses en somme…
Agressif : “Moi, monsieur, si j’avais à soigner,
Il faudrait avant tout que je vous accueillâsse !”
Amical : “Mais soigner n’est pas prendre la place,
Du patient l’avis n’est pas à mettre à la trappe !”

#Philosophie #Soin #Cyrano

Ça me tittille depuis longtemps de faire une grosse analyse des très nombreuses adaptations et traductions de #Cyrano en anglais.

Mais j'ai besoin, avant tout, de comprendre le rapport qu'a la langue anglaise à la poésie, la structure des strophes, et surtout à la rime.

Si quelqu'un connaît une ressource là dessus, je lui en serai énormément reconnaissant.

Merci pour tous vos RT.

📜👃🏽 I forgot til last wknd how uplifting, reassuring, & (re-)affirming the story of #Cyrano de Bergerac is.

So helpful right now 😭

Merci, Edmond Rostand ! 🙏🏽

Love #SteveMartin's re-imagining of it as 'Roxanne' (watched lots, growing up) but didn't realise til just re-watched, not only did he act with #comedy genius as the lead, he produced it & wrote the brilliant #screenplay 🎥

Now for another #film version.. 🙌🏽

Continued thread

#Cyrano The sets and costumes are *immaculate.* The script and lyrics are awful. You can’t get away with this in a world where LMM exists. (Whatever you may think of him, he’s *very* good with lyrics.)

It’s a CRIME to do a version of Cyrano de Bergerac where the *words* are the weakest part.
