Romain Gary is one of the most famous French classics. All his life, changing pseudonyms (his real name is Roman Katsev), he entered literature not only as Gary, but also as Emil Azhar, at the age of sixty, being awarded the Goncourt Prize under this name for the second time. He refused to accept the second “Goncourt” - according to the statute, this prize cannot be awarded twice to the same writer.The novel “Your ticket is no longer valid” was published in 1975, at the height of the “Azharovsky” hoax. Against the background of the general crisis in Europe, a dramatic story of late love unfolds. Middle-aged businessman Jacques Rainier, formerly a dashing daredevil and an idol of women, falls in love with an eighteen-year-old girl, and she reciprocates him. However, age takes its toll, and Jacques tries to reconcile the irreconcilable in order to give a chance to a love that has no future.
