Author detail
"Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac was a French dramatist and duellist who is now best remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story. In these fictional works he is featured with an overly large nose; portraits suggest that he did have a big nose, though not nearly as large as described in Edmond Rostand's play and the subsequent works about him." - [*Wikipedia*][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrano_de_Bergerac
