Edmond Roustan is a French playwright, poet and novelist, the youngest writer elected to compose a musical for the French Academy. He is also the pioneer of the heroic play, and the owner of the complex romantic plot that combines soul and thought; That is, between absolute realism and excessive romance. Edmond Eugene Alexis Rostan was born in 1868 AD in the charming French coastal city of Marseille, which he inherited from its brilliant and kind-hearted people, and grew up in a wealthy family, educated and fond of poetry and music. His ancestors were Spaniards from Cadiz; These Spanish roots, which place chivalry at the rank of preference and bragging, made him tend to glorify the spirit of chivalry in his plays. His father, Eugène Rostan, before he took his place in the Social Sciences Academy due to his fame in political economy, was a poet who organized delicate poetry, and a book was published for him called “The Coral Rendezvous,” in which the father mentions his son in more than one piece. Edmond began his education by joining the Lycée in Marseille, and his father sent him to Paris; In order to complete his studies at the Stanislas Institute, the prestigious Parisian institute where he studied literature, philosophy, history and rhetoric at the hands of the famous literary historian, René Domic.

Edmund left an immortal literary legacy, beginning with a poetry book called "Edmond Rostan". He also presented his masterpiece "Cyrano de Bergerac", the play "The Romantics" and "The Little Eagle".
