Opis: Weidenfeld&Nicolson 1995, str. 486 + zdjęcia, stan bdb- (podniszczona lekko okładka) ISBN 0-297-81299-8 Ian Fleming was infinitely more complicated and interesting than his famous fictional hero, James Bond. At Eton and later Sandhurst, he failed to finish the course, showing more interest in fast living and romantic verse. The war was his making. In naval intelligence, he master-minded top secret operations, including his favourite, 'Golden Eye', uncovered here for the first time. His role in moulding the prototype Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is also detailed. From the late 1930s he courted the vivacious Ann O'Neill. But for fifteen years he refused to wed her, even after her first husband was killed in the war. They continued a passionate relationship which resulted in their marriage only after she became pregnant by him a second time. As a diversion, he escaped into fantasy and invented James Bond, who would become the most successful fictional spy of the twentieth century. Here Andrew Lycett offers the fullest ever account of Agent 007's publishing history and cultural significance. Fleming soon tired of the writing treadmill and with his health beginning to fail and his marriage to Ann running into difficulties he found solace on the golf course and at his secluded cliff-top villa in Jamaica. There he met the uncomplicated divorcee who provided the support and adoration he needed. But his extra-marital liaison only infuriated Ann, driving her into the unlikely arms of Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Labour Party. (continued on back flap) Język angielski Koszt wysyłki 11 zł.
