A Biography of Ian Fleming

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The definitive history of the flamboyant life of Ian Fleming and his most famous creation, James Bond. This new biography of Ian Fleming presents a fresh and illuminating portrayal of the iconic creator of James Bond. Oliver Buckton provides the first in-depth exploration of the entire process of Ian Fleming's writing-from initial conception, through composition, to his involvement in the innovative publication methods of his books. He also investigates the vital impact of Fleming's work in naval intelligence during World War Two on his later writings, especially the wartime operations he planned and executed and how they drove the plots of the James Bond novels. Offering a radically new view of Fleming's relationships with women and their influence on Fleming's work, and concluding with a thorough analysis of the James Bond films, The World is Not Enough is a fascinating investigation into the life and works of a celebrated writer.
