" You only live twice: once when are born and once when you look death in the face ."

Appalled by the loss of his beloved wife Tracy (who was killed by Blofeld in the final Secret Service) James Bond has fallen into a deep depression. It has no more stimulation at work and the latest missions have been transformed because of him in two failures. M MI6 thinks about him to resign but the psychiatrist Sir James Molony should give him one last chance. In his view should be hired for a mission impossible, perhaps this will stimulate his ego and he will awaken from the lethargy in which emotional crashes. M decides to follow the advice of the eminent luminary to 007 and gives a delicate task: he must travel to Japan to try to convince the Japanese to give intelligence to the United Kingdom on cryptography Magic 44, can read all the dispatches of encrypted 'Soviet Union. Bond agrees and travels to Japan, where he finds waiting for him Dikke Henderson of the Australian Secret Service. This makes him the host, trying to introduce it in the complex eastern mentality, quite different from English. Through the noisy Dikke Bond gets in touch with Tiger Tanaka, the head of the Japanese secret service. Between the two body immediately even if the spark of friendship soon emerge different world views, thereby creating a conflict of attitudes. Tiger is very shrewd and has no intention of selling his 44 England Magic unless Bond is not willing to accept a mission for the Japanese government.
Tanaka said his government agent who recently gave a residence of ten years at the Swiss Guntram Shatterhand and his wife Frau Emmy. This is a wealthy botanist, willing to spend not less than one million pounds to create an exotic park which has a priceless collection of transplanting trees from all over the world. He built his Eden near the island Kyushu, near Fukuoka. The problem is that the garden is is immediately turned into an infernal machine of death, being the rarest and most deadly poisonous plants animals on the planet. Thus, the park is now half of all suicides in Japan and started to claim victims by more than five hundred deaths a year. Tanaka explains to Bond that suicide in his country is not considered a disgrace, far from it, but the growing number of victims has embarrassed his country can not afford to eliminate Dr. Shatterhand, worth a serious diplomatic crisis. Tigre therefore proposes a deal to Bond: if it will eliminate the botanist, in exchange will receive the Magic 44. 007 accepted. Thus began the transformation of Bond in Bondo-san, a Japanese man of humble origins, deaf and dumb, who will enter the "Garden of Earthly Delights" and then kill Shatterhand. After a quick tour de force in Japanese customs and traditions (which provide, among other booze-based sake and carousing with compliant Japanese girl), Bond travels the country in the company of a direct Tanaka Fukuoka. During the trip
Bond realizes that a mysterious man is following them. After a car chase Tanaka caught the individual who died during the scuffle. He was a Black Dragon, one of the bodyguards of Dr. Shatterhand. But the surprises are not over: When Bond is shown a picture of the scientist is great because you recognize his disbelief Blofeld! 007 but not Tanaka reveals the discovery for fear that they would broaden the investigation to the CIA, thereby preventing him accomplish his revenge. Tiger decides that Bond must stop a few days in a small island just opposite the island of Kyushu in order to study the best way to enter and delete (with only the help of a ninja chain and a small knife) scientist. The island is inhabited by the likes community that is conducive to host Bondo-san. Here Bond to the beautiful Kissy Suzuki, known as the Greta Garbo of the East, because of its short past as an actress in Hollywood. The girl, disgusted by the environment of the cinema, he preferred to return to the island by his family to fish awabi (a result of fine sea) and asks Bond to accompany her to work.
The night of the third day the secret agent takes action. With the help of Kissy gets to swim in the island and enters the castle. In the park, in a surreal scene, lit only by moonlight, he witnesses the suicide of two men. One flows into the lake inhabited by piranhas, the other (dressed in a dark suit with bowler hat and umbrella) is launched in the fumarole and burned alive.
The next morning the agent, hidden in a shed, witnessing the daily patrols of the garden by Blofeld and his men. In the evening, finally, 007 entered the castle. While searching the bedroom of his enemy Bond falls into a trap, hidden under the floor, and is taken prisoner. The agent is now recognized by Blofeld and Irma who undergo cruel tortures. Bond resists and hires a deadly duel with his nemesis that ends with the death of Blofeld, strangled with bare hands. After a daring escape, by means of a balloon, was rescued by Bond Kissy Suzuki. He does not remember anything, in the throes of total amnesia. Kissy in love with him, conceals Tanaka agents that damage missing. Even MI6 thinks that Bond is dead during the mission and M released his epitaph. In fact Bond, dressed now Todoroki-san, he lives a spartan life as a fisherman beside his Kissy, until a newspaper clipping that does not speak of Vladivostok emerge in him a vague memory of Russia. In search of his past Bond decides to travel to the Soviet Union and abandoned to his fate Kissy ... The birth of

You Only Live Twice stems from a trip to the East a few years before writing the novel for Fleming makes his Sunday Times. The new owner of the newspaper Roy Thomson, on the recommendation of the literary editor Leonard Russell, had authorized the reportage around the world that were just made by Fleming. The trip to Hong Kong would have been the first chapter of a series of news reports that would then also appeared in a volume entitled The city of thrill. In Hong Kong Fleming ties immediately with Richard Hughes, a giant Australian former heavyweight, who since Korea is the newspaper in the East. With him was Fleming's first contact with the world yellow. Hughes is the man of action who has always dreamed of being Fleming and the East, which describes in his books is largely the East of Hughes. He then inspired the character of Dikke Henderson. Three years after Fleming's travels to Japan, she meets her new Australian friend, and he travels within the country that provides the trace of the novel. With them there is also Tora "Tiger" Saito (already chosen by Fleming for that part of Tiger Tanaka), architect, editor, great war correspondent, and a great friend Hughes. All expenses paid by the Company Glidrose, the three are a 12-day tour of Japan. The simplicity of the Japanese, their quirks, their obsession with death strike the imagination of the writer. His enthusiasm for the Nipponese customs and traditions are evident in the book, the first part looks like a travel guide. The story, in fact, kicks off the second half of the novel, precisely the moment when Bond goes into action. Here Fleming unfolds his special talent in describing an action full of tension and assorted cruelties. Blofeld now been turned into a sadistic madman. While Thunderball and Secret Service he works in the service of SPECTRE to destabilize the criminal world with its plan, now works only for his sadistic pleasure and for his disgust towards the human race. He considers himself a genius and the creation of exotic park with its deadly traps of death shall have the sole purpose of eliminating people as possible, " ... has developed in me a kind of mental weakness, a disregard for humanity and for its future, an absolute boredom for the affairs of men ... So Mister Bond, I created this project useful and at the same time humanitarian: I offer free death to those who wish to free themselves from the burden of existence. "
The beautiful fish Kissy Suzuki is the girl in which Bond finds a momentary relief from the pain of his soul. She is very beautiful and Fleming described her as a girl of great moral depth. After a short stay in Hollywood has decided to abandon the vacuous existence, populated by vile people, except for David Niven, not surprisingly personal friend of Fleming.
The other interesting aspect is the obituary for the M Times through this article because Fleming puts us aware of the history of Bond. As always, the personal biography of the author is confused with that of his hero. So we know that Bond was the son of a Scottish father and Swiss mother and that her parents died in a mountaineering accident on the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix. His education was at the very least incomplete: he left Eton, then enrolled at Fettes, where he excelled only by its performance in a sport, then worked at the Ministry of Defence during the war.
As you can see the history of Bond is a photocopy of one of his fictional almighty.
The closure of the novel is enigmatic. Bond party to Vladivostok with no memory of his past into an unknown future. Fleming to pull out of this mess will cost a lot 'of trouble.

"He turned nervously a cigarette, straightened his shoulders, and drove in the archive was closed for so long, his reminiscences. It was now an adult, a man with a murky and dangerous years of memories: a spy. "

James Bond to a year traveling to Europe in search of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, head of SPECTRE. His fighters, however, did not yield any results. Blofeld seems to have disappeared into thin air. Discouraged and tired of a mission so boring, that it deems unsuitable for its capabilities, our meditation to resign by the secret services. While in the Riviera, with its direct Bentley Royale Les Eaux, Bond engages in a race with a mysterious girl who leads a Lancia Flaminia Zagato Spider. The race ended with the victory of women, something unheard of for Bond, who decides to follow her to the Hotel Splendide. He discovers that she is uninhibited Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo. Teresa Bond follows the casino, where he attended a game of chemin de fer in which she loses a large sum of money that can not be welded. Bond intervenes to prevent the scandal of his own pocket by paying the debt. The girl decides to thank him for offering a night of love. The next morning, however, Tracy (this is his diminutive) throws him out of the room so abruptly. Astonished by his behavior, Bond follows the girl on the beach and realizes that she contemplates suicide. 007 acts to prevent the tragedy but is blocked by two shady characters who, threatening him with the gun and the woman, forcing them to board a speedboat. After a short trip they are taken inside a truck where is the headquarters of Marc-Ange Draco, head of the Union Race and the father of Tracy. This is concerned about her daughter in depressive crisis after the departure of her husband (the despicable Italian Count Vicenzo Di) and the subsequent loss of their son from meningitis. Draco asks Bond to express that appreciation for his curriculum vitae, to take care of the girl in exchange for one million pounds in gold. Bond indignantly rejects the offer and recommended Tracy man hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic. Draco then asks if he can pay her debt to have prevented her daughter to hurt the agent and says she wants to know if Blofeld is still alive. After a quick survey Draco tells Bond that his arch enemy is in good shape and hides in Switzerland.
Bond informs MI6 that goes to work until it detects a trace. Through his lawyers Blofeld has contacted the prestigious Institute of Heraldry for the evidence of his nobility. In fact, he looks like Count Balthazar de Bleuville, believing to be the legitimate heir of the family.
Bond then decides to a trap his enemy. Posing as a specialist in genealogy, Sir Hilary Bray, he goes with the permission of M to Switzerland to meet him. His plan is try to gain his trust, tricked into Germany in search of a key document to prove his nobility, and do kidnap British intelligence. Bond sets out a bold plan to Eichmann.
Playing as the secret agent Sir Bray arrives in Switzerland where he is waiting for Irma Blunt, integerrima Blofeld's personal assistant. After a short helicopter trip over the majestic snow-capped Alps (it is December 23), Bond lands on the Piz Gloria, a remote cottage on top of a super technology of the highest peaks of Europe.
this axis is ten beautiful English girls who are subjected to a series of treatments for allergy. Bond charms everyone with his charm but at the same time is tight for the task that awaits him. The next morning, Irma Blunt him to know Blofeld. 007 does not recognize him as the man who is looking for. Blofeld, in fact, has undergone a series of plastic surgery to change facial features. He is described by Fleming according to current physiognomy that distinguishes all his evil: insidious and repulsive. " Her forehead was furrowed with wrinkles and nose, described as short and wide, and was hooked on the right nostril, from what I ate, poor thing, seemed a sign of tertiary syphilis. "
Bond manages to fool Blofeld, extremely suspicious, convincing him that his stay at the Piz Gloria is essential to clarify some aspects of the noble origins of his client. Gets to remain so for at least a week. The agent then starts to flirt with girls, Ruby, looking for more information on the Piz Gloria. After seducing her shall obtain the names of all the girls present at the chalet. But his cover is under threat: Blofeld, in fact, has captured the No. 2 official of the station Z in Zurich. Bond fears that the light under torture could reveal his true identity. He decides to run away that night. After possession of a pair of skis the agent is launched at night on dangerous mountain trails, followed by the men of Blofeld. After a brutal fighter, who also sees him escape an avalanche, man arrives exhausted and here in St. Moritz, surprisingly, meets Tracy, ready to help. She is there because his father was concerned about the fate of Bond and explained everything. The two, after a daring car chase, they manage to escape the hit men of Blofeld.
The next morning, all'areoporto Zurich, Bond takes an unprecedented decision: he loves Tracy and asks her to marry him.
Back in London, the agent reports this to M and its consultant to the Ministry of Agriculture. The latter reveals his fears to colleagues. It 's very likely that Blofeld in his refuge at the Piz Gloria is working on biological weapons to destroy the agricultural heritage of England, thereby knee the country. The ten girls were brainwashed with hypnosis in the UK to introduce the bacteria to lethal viruses. It 'important to act immediately. But there is a diplomatic problem insurmountable. Blofeld is in Switzerland and MI6 can not act officially in Switzerland. Bond gets the green light to turn to informal M Draco. The head of the Union Race, happy for the impending marriage of his daughter, agrees to help the future generations and organizes a raid with his men at the Piz Gloria.
The attack on the enemy succeeds, the chalet is destroyed, but fails to capture Bond Blofeld, who fled on board a bob. But the important thing is that the danger of biological warfare has been foiled. Now we can devote himself entirely to his marriage with Tracy.
" Yes." James Bond monosyllable uttered at 10.30 this morning a New Year's crystal clear in the hall of the British Consulate, and he said it with conviction. "
These are lines that celebrate the (short) transition from bachelor to conjugate 007.
A threat, in fact, it is incumbent on both spouses. Blofeld and Irma follow them on board a red Maserati and fired a fatal blow that kills Tracy. Bond, upset, embraces the woman whispering: "It's okay ... We have all the time we want. "

Thus ends one of the most dramatic novels of the saga, with a final heartbreaking and sad. Secret Service is a powerful spy novel where the author wanted to introduce a romantic mood, however, that poorly binds to the main story. Far decide to get married to his protagonist is a strong choice, impact, that should be prepared in a detailed and realistic, coming into the psyche of the character, making the reader understand the reasons for this sudden volte-face.
Fleming, however, dismisses the matter as follows: "Bond thought suddenly. Hell! I do not find more than a girl like this. It has everything I ever wanted in a woman. It 's beautiful, in bed and out. E' adventurous , courageous and resourceful. Exciting at any time. It seems you love me. For more allow me to continue my activities and, being alone, do not oppress me with friendships, relationships, or relationships. And, above all, he needs me. "
This James Bond inveterate bachelor sexist, misogynist at times, turns into a sentimentalist. Once the decision is to be charged at the turn made by Fleming in his private life. Ten years earlier, evidently moved by the same beliefs of her child, he married Anne Charteris and now feels the need for a spectacle of its decision making yet another transfer in the literature. The problem is that this event is not narratively justified by what happened before between the two lovers. At the beginning of the event 007 has spent a night of love with Tracy and then was discharged from the girl. When the father revealed that she suffers a nervous breakdown, the agent was tender and advised to Draco's in hospital! Now, just to have it reviewed after six months and have spent a night on the run with her, is this transformation?
The dialogue between Bond and Tracy then resemble a song by Julio Iglesias and reveal how little esteem Fleming had in the feminine: "Do not would love if I were not a pirate. ," says Tracy languid her lover. Or: " You can make love without love. "
Once again women Fleming (And Bond) is reduced to some pretty silly and romantic, without human depth. All the clichés of '50s female are then enclosed in the character of Tracy.
The strength of the book is in the intertwining, locked and full of suspense. The antagonist is another memorable Bond villains: granite in its desire to hurt, though not very clever when he asks his real name at the Institute of Heraldry information about their genealogy. A little noticed move that reveals him to his enemies.
Realism is one of the points of the book: the refuge of technological Blofeld is inspired by the luxurious Corviglia Club near Geneva, where the author was with his wife for a report on Switzerland. Then to ensure that the details of arms of his book were accurate, Fleming spent several afternoons at the Institute of Heraldry in Queen Victoria Street. Here he learns that the Bond family motto is "The World Is Not Enough , then used as the title for one of the chapters film starring Pierce Brosnan.
said that we must admit that after the stories of For Your Eyes Only Secret Service is an exciting return to tradition bondiana, Fleming confirmed that the great storyteller's story bigger than life.

Rock the casbah!-Mark LeVine (ISBN 2010)

by Alessandro Pascale

If you need to know in depth the Islamic world "unconventional", the one that raps sacred texts such as hymns of political protest, or metal riff that sets off to find himself on fire in a cellar to get around censorship or who uses blogs to spread music and punk rock became one of the most popular sites in the Middle East, if you care to know at least a part of how life really takes place in countries such as Morocco, Lebanon, Pakistan, Palestine, Egypt and Lebanon , then Rock the casbah! is the book for you.
The beauty of Mark LeVine is not just to let us know a totally unknown world of music, but also be able to bring out the many shades of the Islamic world (and not just Lebanon and Israel docent), much more varied and complex than is usually believed the majority of ordinary people who speak from hearsay (perhaps by the League ...) or to give air to the mouth.
For example, the issue of the relationship between metal and Islam: the heavy metal has always had a bad reputation in the West in some quarters, accused of Satanism, immorality, incitement to violence, occultism and so forth. Apparently it would seem irreconcilable with the Islamic religion, so much so that there are extremists (particularly serious is the situation of Iran) who are trying to ostracized, stifle and punish with all their force, for its origin in western import. Yet there are also many men who see no incompatibility between the two camps, and indeed in some cases they even see the positive benefits.
clear that the real reason of suffocation of the underground musical movement is actually the source policy: most of the governments of Meda democracies are in fact only a façade, whose corrupt political system is supported and legitimized by neo-colonialist and imperialist policies of the U.S., not for nothing that they often become the object of hatred and invective, identified as the real major problem that prevents the Arab people have hope for political change in the near future.
In this context the music illiberal "alternative" are in many cases the only possible form of opposition, not in the interests of confrontation with the regime (which would be suicidal), but the creation of subcultures characterized by an alteration in public only musical-cultural, which is exposed only in private at the level of political criticism. Borgna
in the past said that a revolt imaginary (ie cultural) opens the door to genuine political revolt, and in any case be seen as a positive factor in because it allows the release by the type social-cultural and the formation of a critical group can turn into something more dangerous to the institutions. That 's what happened in '68 at the bottom, with the start of a phase in which Italy has lasted a decade. What
LeVine hopes often during the work it is to weld these countercultural movements with the nuclei most progressive politicians. Without each other alone do not have other possibilities than those of vivacchiare a thousand dangers, but their marriage could one day lead to the collapse of the autocratic and illiberal governments which are responsible for keeping us in the West especially. The story will let us know how it will end.

Casino Royale

Italian version: First Edition: Garzanti 1965 - Latest edition: Bloomsbury Publishing Editor, 2004

" At three in the morning, the smell of the casino, the smoke and sweat loss nausea. At that time, the inner wear typical of gambling - mixture of greed, fear and nervous tension - becomes intolerable. The senses are awakened and writhe in disgust.
All'improviso James Bond became aware of being tired. "

These few lines mark the fulminant onset of a new literary hero. The light par excellence is presented by Fleming in his first novel in the series as a man of the world, who loves the good life, who like women (of whom, however, warning), even if it is ready to fall in love. Gambling is a His passion, as are cigarettes, drinks and dinner in an elegant French restaurant. Physically Bond is portrayed as a man about 35 years, high-haired blacks, a slight scar on right cheek, a vague resemblance to the musician and singer Hoagy Carmichael.

" The idea was to put an end to my celibacy made me rather nervous. To download the tension that did not give me peace, I threw down a novel ..." With his usual irony commented Fleming the birth of his career as a novelist. Written in January 1952, during a summer vacation at his residence in Jamaica Goldeneye, Casino Royale is the archetype of the spy novels. The book has a very simple narrative structure, and is divided into the classical Aristotelian three acts. The first part is
presented the main character and his mission . James Bond is in the imaginary town of Royale Les Eaux, on the Riviera. He was sent from there by his superior intelligence English, M., (the original is probably referring to the nickname by which Fleming called his mom) to defeat Le Chiffre at the baccarat table, the Soviet bridgehead in France , treasurer of the union and paying the Communist side of the Alps. We are in a cold war, as the story unfolds in the mid- 50. Le Chiffre is a stateless person (hence the name he chose a "figure", is considered so because of the number on your passport), who became rich by exploiting prostitution with a series of brothels located throughout France. However, the new law prohibits brothels and shady wheeler-is in debt of more than CHF 50 million against the Soviet secret service. The latter have provided the large sum of money to finance the union. To avoid the revenge of Smersh (of nearly the Smyert Shpionam "death to spies") Le Chiffre decides the fate groped at the table, hoping to recover gambling finances squandered. The idea of \u200b\u200b
M. is sent his best agent with a license to kill double zero in Riviera cards to challenge the fraudster. If the plan were to be successful gangsters in the pay of the KGB would find itself penniless and with one foot in the grave. 1) Bond

accepts the challenge and went to help him find where Royale René Mathis, his colleagues in France, Felix Leiter, CIA, and Vesper Lynd, a charming colleague who will watch your back. Just get
Bond escapes an assassination attempt against him by two Bulgarians, then, first to challenge Le Chiffre in the game, check out the casino tables to study. Here Fleming takes this opportunity to express some of the key ideas of his character in terms of women and gambling. "... luck, with all its quirks, was not feared but loved. Bond saw her as a woman who had to flirt with sweetness or take with brutality; arruffianarsela or never try to run after her. " The
007 Vesper evening dinner invitation to the courts in his own way, with a mixture of sophistication and sensuality, even if his fixed idea is to face Le Chiffre.

The second part of the novel opens with chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13, entirely devoted to the challenge to the baccarat of the two protagonists. They are the most exciting part of the book to the dry style with which the author describes a world he knows well, being a frequent visitor to the casino at Le Touquet, near Deauville. The antagonist of Bond is described as cunning and ruthless, looking left. It is said that Fleming was inspired for this character to the famous Satanist Alistair McCrowley, which during the Second World War he offered to mediate the prisoner with Rudolph Hess, with whom he shared a passion for the occult (including the McCrowley appears also on the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band).
After an initial phase of the game in which Bond earns a substantial amount in a second it follows that his nemesis is to prevail, leaving no finances. Bond was defeated, but spoke to him manforte Leiter, who offers him 32 million in an envelope francs to continue the game. In the face of unscrupulous revitalization of the entire bench wobbles but Le Chiffre is forced to play the bet. The final showdown sees Bond take precedence, to the loss of all the assets of Le Chiffre.
Back Room Bond hides a check for 40 million francs and went to dinner with Vesper. She is restless and leave the dinner because Mathis call for a report of the evening. It's actually a trap, which stretched from Le Chiffre kidnaps the girl. 007 understands everything, but when he leaves the local machine sees the villain away. On board his Bentley Bond begins a chase on the winding roads of the Riviera but flips his car due to a trap set by men Le Chiffre with a carpet of nails. Captured, Bond is taken to an uninhabited house in the heart of rural France. Stripped and tortured by Le Chiffre sadism who wants to know where he hid the money. Bond resists the pain and does not speak but when an unexpected event is about to give his aid. An agent of the KGB justice with a gunshot to the head Le Chiffre and then goes away, not before they had cut with a knife in the hand of the letters SH Bond, or Shpionam . The execution of Le Chiffre is described by Fleming with brutal realism: "There was a puff acute, no more sound of the air bubble that comes out of a tube of toothpaste. No other noise, no: and suddenly appeared in Le Chiffre another eye, third eye at the other two, just where the massive nose began to protrude from his forehead. It was a small black eye, no eyelashes or eyebrows. "

The third part begins with Chapter 19 and has Bond in a hospital bed. The agent was recovered from Mathis, who saved the girl, luckily unhurt. Bond, however, is was shaken in body and soul. In a conversation with Mathis expressed his doubts about the lawfulness of his actions. disincato A bitter emerges from his words is so blurred the difference between good and evil that is no longer sure of its actions. Moreover, the wounds suffered in the most intimate parts are severe, and our concern that may have irreversible repercussions on his manhood. It 'also why at first refused all requests to Vesper. The girl in fact it attracts more than he is willing to admit. But in the end 007 and meets the woman capitulates. Attracted to her, she agrees to spend his rehabilitation in a small hotel on the coast. The two fell madly in love one another and Bond seriously consider marriage. But a dark shadow threatens their relationship. Vesper believes to be followed by a mysterious man in black with a monocle. Bond does not want to believe her at first but the lies of the girl suspicious until the case impensable: Vesper commits suicide by swallowing a bottle of Nembutal. A Bond, desperate for the loss, she left a letter in which he claims to be a spy for the Russians. He accepted the double play because the Soviets blackmails her to kill her lover, a Polish pilot captured during the war and a prisoner of SMERSH. The girl has committed suicide unable to bear the idea of \u200b\u200brevealing to Bond, which had fallen in love, the truth.
E 'this is the part of the twilight book in which Fleming reveals a romantic aspect to Bond, which contrasts with the idea that we had made of him reading the book. Behind that surface rough men lies at the bottom of a sentimentalist. And none of the players believe him when, calling his liaison officer in London he said: "Talk 007. From a public phone. Emergency. Transmit now: 3030 was a double agent for Ivan. "
" Yes, damn it: I said ' was'. It died whore. "

Casino Royale is a great thriller that reinvents the genre with a shot of the old classic Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and Edgar Wallace. Until that moment, in fact, English literature had never brought anything new in the spy genre. With the exception of John Buchan's Richard Hannay, an engineer hired by the Secret Service from time to time, and some history of Eric Ambler, James Bond is imposed immediately as a new character. The power-Fleming, cruel but with a smile, is closer to the character of Mike Hammer, Mickey Spillane that invented by the Philip Marlowe by Raymond Chandler (who also liked Fleming's novels). A Spillane Casino Royale has at least two elements. The first is a girl, Vesper, Bond falls in love with but then prove to be an enemy spy. In a novel by Spillane was the Hammer to kill her, while Fleming, the woman committed suicide. Bond has in common with Hammer also the transformation of love into hatred: "And 'died whore", so concludes the book, and so its 007 liquid feeling of affection towards Vesper.
Second Bond is haunted by an image: that of a Japanese expert in codes that he has removed from a cooling tower in front. Even Mike Hammer is constantly haunted by the memory of a Japanese soldier killed in war. An analogy that, as Eco points out in his essay "The case Bond" is not accidental. In both figures the memory of the death of the Japanese is the basis of their neurosis Fleiming but decided to resolve the issue of bonds due to non-therapeutic, thus excluding psychological aspects in the narrative development of the subsequent novels.
Fleming also paid tribute to George Simenon, his favorite author. Many of the Bond adventures are set in France and are affected by the atmosphere typically French Simenon instilled in the pages dedicated to his Maigret. But what is most striking is the obsessive attention to detail that will be taken up by Terence Young in the first adventure film, Dr. No . Fleming's attention to objects of everyday life, liquor, perfume, cigarettes, cars, all oriented to the extreme luxury, providing the reader with information on which fantasies of glamorous dream to become one, leaving the grayness of everyday life instead of bills made by pay, a boring job and a wife aged prematurely. And women: beautiful, beautiful, mysterious, depraved. Bond often treats them with contempt, but other times it is fascinating, as in the case of Vesper. Fleming builds a literary universe from scratch, intended to strike the imagination of readers around the world. The seeds of the myth were sown.

1) The idea of \u200b\u200b Casino Royale comes from a life experience of that Fleming, like on the other hand, many of the events recounted in his books. In 1941 the author, at the time secret agent, tried to pluck the Casino Estoril in Portugal, some members of the German Intelligence challenging at chemin de fer. Yet Fleming also lost everything and had to borrow money from his boss. Heroic, then, his mission had nothing but the version on the pages of the event has transformed a very different resolution. Since its inception, therefore, it foreshadows what John Pearson in his study "The Life of Ian Fleming defines the autobiography of a dream. Bond is Fleming's fictional alter ego, the exasperation of his vices and virtues, sublimated by a hyper-realistic heroism.

says Ian Fleming was born as James Bond
