April 1868 in Marseille; ? 2. Dezember 1918 in Paris) war ein französischer Theaterschriftsteller. Leben Rostand stammte aus einer wohlhabenden provenzalischen Familie. Nach juristischer Ausbildung widmete er sich ganz der Dichtung. 1890 heiratete er die ebenfalls als Schriftstellerin tätige Rosemonde Gérard und hatte mit ihr zwei Söhne; allerdings verließ er sie 1915 für seine letzte Geliebte, Mary Marquet. Rostand wurde 1901 in die Académie française aufgenommen. 1918 erlag er der damals weltweit grassierenden Spanischen Grippe. Er ist der Vater des Theaterautors Maurice Rostand (1891-1968) und des Biologen und Schriftstellers Jean Rostand, der ebenfalls Mitglied der Académie française wurde. Im Spielfilm Vorhang auf für Cyrano (2018), der auf einnem Theaterstück basiert, wird er von Thomas Solivérès dargestellt. Werke Rostand verfasste neuromantische Versdramen, u. a. Die ferne Prinzessin (1895), eine für Sarah Bernhardt geschriebene Troubadourtragödie. Mit seiner heroischen Komödie von dem hochherzigen Dichter und Draufgänger Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) schuf er eine von Schauspielern begehrte Rolle und in seinem Lande ein echtes volkstümliches Stück, das weit über die Grenzen Frankreichs hinaus erfolgreich war. 1899 schrieb er Das Weib von Samaria, 1900 Der junge Adler, 1910 Chantecler.

(1894-1981), born in Battonya, Hungary, lived and worked in a villa located in Ménesi Street on the hillside of Gellért Hill (Budapest) for 50 years. He held the surrealist style close to his heart throughout his life, and he was also heavily inspired by the Symbolist works of Ferdinand Hodler. His illustrations of Shakespeare's Corialanus and Rostrand's Cyrano de Bergerac earned him gold medals at salons in Paris, Milan, and Warsaw. After his death his younger daughter, Dr. Éva Csillag Pálné set up a family-owned private museum in 1984. "As a matter of fact all art is more or less surreal. The reality of everyday life differs from the reality of art, which stands above reality." - Pál Molnár-C.
