A French classic with Russian roots, a military pilot and a brilliant diplomat, Romain Gary (real name — Roman Katsev) is the only writer who has won the Goncourt Prize twice: the first time in 1956 as Gary, the second — in 1975 as Emile Azhar. Gary refused the second award and kept the secret of the never-existing “Azhar” while he was alive. He revealed this hoax only on the day of his suicide in 1980, sending the publisher a text titled “The Life and Death of Emil Azhar.”Releasing one after another “Azharovsky” books, he continued to be published as Romain Gary. “The Light of a Woman" (1977) is one of his most famous and poignant novels about the collision of love with death. The novel formed the basis of the famous Costa Gavras film, starring Yves Montand and Romy Schneider.
