Description
The possibility to observe Classical (and recurrent) novae at high spectral resolution has allowed a more deep understanding of the nova phenomenon, with the discovery of 1) THEA lines; 2) lithium in their ejecta; and 3) the presence of multiple components, whose evolution is simultaneous to the high-energy (GeV) emission detected from space-based missions. In this talk, I will give a short review of CN phenomenology, concentrating on some recent results, also obtained using FIES at the NOT.
