Cyrano de Bergerac, a Play by Edmond Rostand

Has a warped self-perception ever caused you to label yourself as weak, stupid, or ugly? This week's theme dives into how the actions and words of others affect how we see ourselves and what we can do to improve our self-perception. Then, on to our book.

One man's finest weapon is his tongue. It is a sharp sword crafted from wit and valor. However, his embarrassing face makes him feel doomed to live in solitude, always one degree away from the woman he loves.

The man: Cyrano

The Play: Cyrano de Bergerac de Edmond Rostand
