Milostný román z konce 18. století, ve kterém autor formou dopisů líčí život francouzské šlechtické společnosti. Na příběhu dvojice libertinských šlechticů, kteří pro vlastní pobavení manipulují s osudy bližních, vytvořil autor nejen obraz určité doby a společnosti, zabývající se intrikami, ale uvedl do literatury řadu znamenitě psychologicky propracovaných typů a zobrazil složitost vztahů mezi lidmi s časově neohraničenou platností.
Percepută din perspectiva ultimelor decenii, cartea lui Cyrano de Bergerac este considerată de unii drept primul roman veritabil de science-fiction. Se crede că acesta creează cu adevărat un gen pe care îl va continua Jules Verne. În paginile acestei cărți, cititorul va avea de admirat evenimente miraculoase, umorul și satira, poantele și piruetele verbale care contribuie la reușita unor extraordinare călătorii cosmico-burlesti.
