Cyrano's (the real guy) greatest work, model for much of Gulliver's Travels, Munchausen and so many other fantasy books. First published in the 17th Century (Paris, of course), this elegant satire takes its hero into the solar system, where he then can freely speak on matters of sex, religion and humanity. Join the big guy as he wanders about the solar system, meeting up with Beast-Men, the Solen people, and a rep from the Kingdom of Love.
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.
