Quatrième de couverture Vienne, Schönbrunn, Metternich, un empire qui se croyait éternel malgré l'ombre de Napoléon qui pèse encore sur l'Europe à travers un jeune homme irrésistible de charme, de fragilité et de mélancolie, une sorte d'Hamlet androgyne qui fut le grand rôle de Sarah Bernhardt et qui était le duc de Reichstadt, le fils de l'Ogre et de l'Aigle : le roi de Rome, l'Aiglon.Les ailes de l'Aiglon naissent, s'ouvrent, palpitent au souvenir de tant de puissance et de gloire, tels que les évoque devant lui Séraphin Flambeau, le grognard légendaire de la Grande Armée. Mais l'histoire n'aime pas les redites et les ailes meurtries vont bientôt se fermer. Le roi de Rome mourra comme il a vécu, en prince autrichien, la pièce se terminant sur la réplique fameuse de Metternich (qui a eu tout de même un peu peur) : «Vous lui remettrez son uniforme blanc.»

This 1894 comedy in three-acts was translated by Barrett Clark. Edmond Rostand later became famous with his writing of "Cyrano de Bergerac. The Romancers is best produced with the late 18th century in mind and customs from the Louis XVI period. This light-hearted romance is about two young lovers discovering that love can exist without obstacles and the excitement of danger.

Il giovane e ribelle cadetto Cirano di Bergerac, famoso per il naso enorme e per il suo forte temperamento, è disperatamente innamorato della bellissima Rossana, sua cugina. Giustamente definita una “commedia eroica”, questa è la prima traduzione in prosa in italiano, una vera e propria rilettura del personaggio, che abbandona così qualcosa della sua natura romantica per rivelare in parte il suo malessere, la sua disperazione e la sua smania suicida di duellare. L’altro mondo o Stati e Imperi della luna è un breve romanzo utopistico che, dal lontano Seicento francese, dimostra l’erudita fantasia di Cirano di Bergerac, che – oltre a questo – scrisse anche una commedia, una tragedia e un secondo romanzo.

Classics Illustrated is a comic book series featuring adaptations of literary classics such as Moby Dick, Hamlet, and The Iliad. Created by Albert Kanter, the series began publication in 1941 and finished its first run in 1971, producing 169 issues. Following the series' demise, various companies reprinted its titles.The first five titles were published irregularly under the banner "Classic Comics Presents" while issues six and seven were published under the banner "Classic Comics Library" with a ten-cent cover price. Arabian Nights (issue 8), illustrated by Lillian Chestney, is the first issue to use the "Classics Comics" banner.With the fourth issue, The Last of the Mohicans, in 1942, Kanter moved the operation to different offices and the corporate identity was changed to the Gilberton Company, Inc.. Reprints of previous titles began in 1943. Wartime paper shortages forced Kanter to reduce the 64-page format to 56 pages.

This three-hander was written by Edmond Rostand for performance by himself and his friends in the garden of the Rostand family's summer villa in Luchon, in the French Pyrenees. At 20, Edmond was not sure whether to be a poet or a playwright. This playlet was to decide his career, for it was to prove his entree into French theatre."

Ah ! non ! c’est un peu court, jeune homme ! On pouvait dire... Oh ! Dieu !… bien des choses en somme… Agressif, amical, descriptif ou curieux... Avec autant de finesse que de malice, Bruno Gibert accompagne en dessins la magistrale tirade de Cyrano.

Extrait: Sylvette Ah ! Monsieur Percinet, mais comme c'est donc beau ! Percinet N'est-ce pas?... Écoutez répondre Roméo : Il lit. « C'est l'alouette, Amour, je te dis que c'est elle! « Vois, le bord des vapeurs légères se dentelle, « Et là-bas, au sommet rose du mont lointain, « Sur le bout de son pied se dresse le matin! « Il faut fuir... » Sylvette , vivement, prêtant l'oreille. Chut! Percinet, écoute un instant, puis Personne ! Ainsi, Mademoiselle, Ne prenez pas ces airs effarouchés d'oiselle Qui de la branche, au moindre bruit, va s'envoler... Écoutez les Amants Immortels se parler : Elle : « Amour, amour cher, non, ce n'est pas l'aurore, « Mais c'est, pour éclairer ta fuite, un météore ! » Lui : « Puisqu'elle le veut, eh bien, soit! ce n'est point « L'alouette qui chante et l'aurore qui point : « Ce reflet, c'est le tien, Cynthia, dans la nue! « Vienne la Mort, la Mort sera la bienvenue ! »

This volume features the four best known plays by Edmond Eugène Alexis Rostand, neo-romantic French poet and dramatist. The plays are: CYRANO DE BERGERAC. A Play in Five Acts. His most famous play, written in 1897. Although there was a real Cyrano de Bergerac, the play is a fictionalization of his life that follows the broad outlines of it. THE ROMANCERS. A Comedy in Three Acts. This burlesque, was adapted in 1960 by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt into the long-running American musical The Fantasticks. CHANTECLER. A Play in Four Acts. This verse play is notable because all the characters are farmyard animals including the main protagonist, a chanticleer, or rooster. The play centers on the theme of idealism and spiritual sincerity, as contrasted with cynicism and artificiality. L'AIGLON. A Play in Six Acts. Is a Napoleonic history, which contained much new information about the unhappy life of the Duke of Reichstadt, son of Napoleon I, and Marie Louise. (timeless wisdom collection)

Excerpt from A Few Plain Facts by Concerning the PlagiarismsIn the article by Justice there are brief references to the history of the author of The Merchant Prince of Cornville, Captain Samuel Eberly Gross. It might be added that he entered the army of his country when a youth of seventeen years, served several years, was in many battles, underwent many hardships, and rose to the rank of Captain of Cavalry for meritorious services being the youngest officer of that rank in the army.He afterwards studied law, graduated and received his degree, was admitted and is a member of the legal profession, although not in active practice; became largely interested in enterprises for the development of real property but at all times he has been a retiring student of literature and an unassuming writer of both prose and verse some published and more unpublished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Edmond Rostand (1868-1919) a romantikus versdrámába öntött új életet, amikor már mindenki halottnak hitte azt. Csengő rímeivel, fellengzős dikciójával, hugós fordulataival, megható tárgyával a legmerevebb naturalista ízlés kellős közepén váratlanul világsikert aratott két drámája, a Cyrano de Bergerac és a L'Aiglon (A sasfiók). A kritika megdöbbenve és felháborodva fogadta ezt a korszerűtlen sikert… nagyobbára igaza is volt, csak egyben tévedett: azt hitték, hogy Rostand csak múló divat, néhány év múlva már senki sem fog beszélni róla; a valóság pedig az, hogy ma már jóformán mindent elfelejtettünk, amit azok az évek a dráma terén létrehoztak, és Rostand művei még mindig élnek a színpadon.
