Romain Gary. The Light of a Woman. Your ticket is no longer valid.

Love remains the theme of Romain Gary's two late novels. However, their heroes, now aged, disillusioned, and weary, find themselves in a tragic situation, because for them, not loving is tantamount to not living. Five years later, this "contrived" situation materializes into a real-life tragedy: the writer's suicide. Both novels are published in Russian for the first time.
