Cyrano de Bergerac was a death defying soldier, poet in the age of the Musketeers. His dueling skills were unparalleled and his wit was every bit as keen as his swords edge. He was one of the very first writers to pen a work of science fiction and he risked his life with harsh criticisms of the church and state. Having witnessed the sheer horror and futility of warfare at first hand, Cyrano went on to promote diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution, originating the slogan "Make Love not war."
