"There is only one question ... "He tapped his teeth against the mouthpiece of the pipe.
"What matter, sir?" Asked Bond.
M seemed to make a decision. He looked calmly towards Bond.
"Sir Hugo Drax coffin to the cards'

returned to its ordinary activities, after a period of convalescence from wounds suffered during his last mission in Jamaica (see Live and Let Die), agent 007 resumes its daily routine. The days pass until a quiet night M asked a favor. The head of Bond is a member of the prestigious circle Blades, which counts among its members the cream of the English bourgeoisie. Among them there is Sir Hugo Drax, an exporter of minerals, immediately after the war became rich through trade of Columbia, which is used in vehicles to react. The billionaire has offered the Queen his means to achieve a spectacular rocket defense, Moonraker, intended to strike, in case of aggression, the enemies of the United Kingdom. This proposal was accepted by the government, did Drax the national hero in Britain.
The President of Blades, however, suspected that the magnate bari bridge. If so, that would be very injurious to the reputation of the premises. He therefore asks M for help. The latter invites Bond to dinner at the club, so that studies Drax at the card table. Its task is to verify whether the billionaire actually put make-up games to win money. The same evening
Bond is at the club and was presented to the charismatic character. The expert player takes a few minutes to realize that Drax coffin, helped by a silver cigarette case that hides a mirror. Bond Drax challenge to a game of bridge that ends with the defeat dell'iracondo billionaire.
The next day Bond is given a delicate mission. On the evening of playing cards a ministry official dell'Approvigionamento - Major Tallon - was murdered at a pub near the base of Moonraker. The agent was responsible for overseeing operations in the test launch of the rocket, scheduled for that Friday. Apparently the crime would seem to be passionate nature. The killer, in fact, committed suicide soon after he confessed to killing his rival for the love of the beautiful Gala Brand, the secretary of Drax, agent of the British police infiltrated a secret within the team.
Bond has a mandate to replace the largest and the Tallon same time to investigate his mysterious death.
arrived at the missile base on the edge of the cliffs between Dover and Deal, 007 is received with warmth by Drax which leads him to visit the plant and the sleek missile of death. Bond is favorably impressed and is also the knowledge dell'affascinante Agent Brand. However there are some things that do not fit. First, the formal staff of Drax's closest collaborators, in particular the trust and engineer Walter Krebs. Moreover, during a patrol on the cliffs Bond and Gala are overwhelmed by a cascade of rocks and almost lose out the skin. On launch day approaches and one night the Brand, while in the car with Drax, he discovers that the codes to launch the rocket, in the notebook of his principal, does not coincide with the ones you wrote down for months. Everything seems to believe, in fact, that the use of atomic power is not the sea overlooking Dover, but London itself. Gala is discovered by Drax and is taken prisoner. His passing has not gone unnoticed, as Bond had a date with her. The agent gets on the trail of Drax, and after being followed by car, discovers that the girl is in his hands. Thus begins a chase on the main road from London to Dover between the 007 and the Bentley driven by Merceders Skk Drax culminating in the capture of ours. Bond and Gala are caught in the middle: just a few hour to the launch of the missile and Drax reveals his true identity. He is a Nazi, mistaken for a case during the war in English. Now you can finally take revenge upon the perfidious Albion scaraventadole his weapon. It seems all finished but Bond manages to escape and reprogram the gyros of the rocket, just in time to save his country nuclear holocaust ...

Of all the novels dedicated to 007 Moonraker is less known to the readers our own for a number of reasons. The first is due to various reasons with which it was circulated by Garzanti, The grand slam of death . The second is due to the horrible film, half between parody and the comic book, which Lewis Gilbert filmed in the early 80s and of which more later.
is a pity that the book has met with limited success because we Moonraker is a concentration of incidents in pure british sauce. First, this is the only story set entirely in the United Kingdom (more precisely between London and the Kent countryside), and also the volume is full of personal information about our hero on his daily life. In the novel, we learn, in fact, Bond has about 37 years, working in a dreary office, a secretary (LOEL Ponsoby), goes to the table every day, lives in a small flat in King's road, governed by its valuable domestic Scotsman named May, and spends his free time with three lovers (all married), or to play golf.
Bond in this new adventure sports all his insufferable snobbery Englishman who leads him to boast even British cooking, he said "the best in the world."
The novel is divided into days, Monday through Friday, to mark the excitement inherent in the upcoming launch of the rocket.
The game of bridge that opens the story is wonderfully described and recalls that at chemin de fer Casino Royale.
Once again the villain is the classic cliché of physiognomic Fleming. Stocky, horrible appearance, her face disfigured by fire, a horrible red hair and a mustache that cover a visible projection of the dental arch. In the past, Drax's working with Otto Skorzeny, the German espionage Oberturbandführer whose moves Fleming had studied for years during the war.
The Bond girl is silent but beautiful Englishwoman who, virtually single thing, refusing to accept the courtship of Bond, leaving him alone in the final.
The novel is full of autobiographical elements also means the process of identification between Fleming and Bond is getting closer. Bond is described as "sad," an adjective that many women were scrambled to Fleming. For more on the character's creator download some of his physical and mental stress. For this book
Fleming sacked his favorite corner of England, Kingsdown, where Drax builds his rocket on the cliffs of Deal, is then quoted the favorite of the writer, that Café Royal in Dover, where Bond eat scrambled eggs with ham with plenty of coffee. The club Blades Finally, some reminiscent of White's Club, of which Fleming was a member from 1936 to 1940.
The tone and melancholy of twilight Moonraker is also due to its permanence. Fleming is a nomad, a traveler was born, and England is close to him and his creature. For the two is Now is the time to go away ...

Sore Back From Snowboarding

Pros and Cons Marx, found under the debris of Marxism-Edgar Morin (2010 Erickson)

by Alessandro Pascale

Edgar Morin is one of the minds "post-Marxist" certainly the most interesting political movement for curriculum and variety of disciplinary approaches. His life also, as we would like to say he is very symbolic of the evolution of the twentieth century, although in contrast to what concerns the last two decades, when coming off the numerous critics of the Marxian philosophy he chose to return to retrieve it with a critical eye fighting the degrading and irrational abandonment which risked being left behind.
Recovering Marx but not in the Marxist perspective (that is, a doctrine and systematized absorbing), but Marx (ie accepting the logic of his thought open evolving, capable of continuous changes and improvements), avoiding any kind of dogma, according to messianic certainly detrimental impact on the long term. But Morin
on these concepts is not particularly illuminating, essentially repeating speeches and arguments already heard from most of the authors 'serious' that after a certain period of time you re-approach the German author.
In reality there are some exquisitely unique that it is worth emphasizing the collection of essays by Morin:

"We need to preserve and revolutionize revolutionize conservation ' namely "the essential finding that the revolution needs to maintain not only our biological beings, but also the nature, the biosphere, the world's diversity, cultures who want to live, the legacy of the past contains the seeds of the future. "We
that is in front of the simple concept that any message is reduced to what it has meant" the universe red "of the twentieth century, now can not re-casting dall'imprescindibilità sharing a link with environmental concerns. At the bottom was already a connection with the doctrine of apparent decrease of Serge Latouche, but the news is the flip side: "we must revolutionize to preserve "is the obvious consideration that there is no possibility of earthly salvation without a radical change, revolutionary precisely, the global economic system and what drives him: the human mentality. The real revolution must take place in man short, and is not granted a pass to Morin, giving he (rightly in the opinion of the undersigned) the total freedom to decide how it will be the future world, then away from all forms of socio-economic determinism. Men can change things, you just have to figure out if they really want, if we want that awareness. Inevitable for myself the relationship between this step and the ethics communication structured by Karl Otto Apel. In fact, essential to create that global citizenship is talking about Morin try to establish a universal system of values \u200b\u200bacceptable to anyone, and is able to empower every single person on the planet.

comes into play a second interesting question the work of Morin: his renewed anthropological concept which leads to exclude certain one-dimensionality of human beings (Marcuse dear you have gone out of fashion!), At the expense of diversity that can be summarized under the term "homo sapiens-Demens. The man that can not be considered only in its prosaic activities (technical, labor, materials) but we must also take account of his poetic activity (the feast, play, dance, joy, love, ecstasy, imagination, adventure), not the perspective of darkness, but to keep them into account and ennoble even when the occasion (ie, not causing harm to another) of individual achievement.
"We need to introduce the mystery of politics, art the most uncertain of all."
Rinobilitare policy goes from here: a human appearance, restoring it exits the mere administration of materiality. This Vendola in Italy has understood very well. And maybe it's the first time this has happened to the left without falling into symbols messianism and now out of time. It 'clear that the uncertainties regarding this concept of politics are still evident, but it is certainly valuable to be able to finally capture something that the Right have exploited unconsciously last thirty years.

The condition of the intellectuals in the USSR under Stalin.
It 's a disturbing question: why intellectuals have not responded to Stalin? Not just about those Russians, who could more or less forced to be obliged to remain silent, but also of most of those in Europe, most of which was awakened by the "dogmatic slumber" in 1956 with the de-Stalinization.
Morin's answer is that Stalinism, in its mix of necessitarismo messianesismo and was perfectly suited to the abstract theory and absolute, one for which the idea is worth more than anything concrete. That then why socialism is the ultimate goal for which you can think of sacrificing a few thousands if not millions of people. Aristotle probably did not think the search for good practice by blending and contemplative activity could lead to aberrant results much. But you probably do not even think Marx. Lenin perhaps yes, he had guessed. But then when you're Stalin on his deathbed, some things can just cast ...

"Politics is the only real art, and in itself represents a contradiction. " I explain this not because I want to invite you to read, but I found it really brilliant!

MY NAME 'FLEMING - Part

2-DESTINATION LEGEND

the morning of the third Tuesday of January 1952, ten weeks after his marriage, Fleming is on holiday in Goldeneye when he decided to start writing a spy novel. On his desk is a book, Birds of the West Indies, written dall'ornitologo James Bond. That seems the perfect name for the protagonist has in mind. So, for ten weeks, Fleming writes incessantly, following a ritual that remains unchanged over the years. He wrote every morning between nine and noon, while the afternoon from 17 to 18.30, revise the manuscript.
Why Fleming you decide to pursue a career as a writer so late? He jokingly assert I did it to distract from the shock of the marriage. One thing is certain: the author writes in complete freedom Casino Royale is the title of his first book.
When finished, Fleming does read the manuscript to his friend William Plomer, which in turn rotates the publisher Jonathan Cape. In August of 1952 was born the eldest son of Ian, Robert Caspar.
On 17 September the same year Cape Fleming reaches out to establish the terms of the contract. With painstaking meticulousness the new author can even check a percentage of revenue equal to ten percent for the first 10,000 copies and 20 percent from 20,000. Tireless starts now looking for an American publisher, not an easy undertaking, because the manuscript was rejected by three publishers (including Doubleday, Norton, Knopf).

His new career as a writer, however, is now playing. In the fall of 1953, again at Goldeneye, Fleming conceived her second novel, "Live and Let Die . Are you satisfied with the ease with which the book was born and the plot seems to articulate the best of the previous episode. Meanwhile, the draft of Casino Royale is ready to go to press. Fleming puts to work, sending the book to friends and acquaintances. To his surprise, the famous writer Somerset Maugham praises him with a letter that highlights his ego. But despite the generally positive reviews the first edition of Casino Royale sells only 4,750 copies and did not reveal the source of income that its creator had hoped. Fleming did not lose heart and continues his work as the Sunday Times, travels in the United States, where he has since managed to find a publisher (Macmillan), shaking an important friendship with Roald Dahl, part of a consignment of caving in the Pyrenees, finally passing the summer of 1953 at Villa Mauresque hosting Maugham. In the meantime, start thinking The grand slam death. Chosen as the location for this episode and the cliffs of the main Kingsdown Deal, where Drax his rocket designs. It is with this work that the identification of Fleming and Bond becomes total. From this moment on every trip and experience that the writer makes in his private life trasmigrerà by osmosis in the affairs of Bond. In the autumn of 1953 Ian
accepts the Sunday column of gossip Atticus in the Sunday Times. Although he hates the receptions and worldliness, he does his new job with great enthusiasm, accumulating information that will be useful in the preparation of the subsequent novels.
The 1954 is a key year for him in April, the critics are saying that Live and Let Die has kept its promises of Casino Royale. The author begins to wonder: his literary creature could emulate the exploits of Sherlock Holmes or Hercules Poirot. His friendship with Somerset Maugham in a collaboration of the latter leads to the Sunday edition of the Sunday Times, which culminates with the publication in 15 episodes of his new novel.
early June Fleming completes the review of the grand slam of death and gives it to William Plomer who is enthusiastic, while selling the rights to Casino Royale for $ 1,000 to the Columbia Broadcasting who want to make a transposition television. The sales figures of the two previous works, both in England and in America, they are not encouraging. In June the same year, Fleming began to write Diamonds Are Forever. His friend from Eton, Philip browing, working at the diamond company De Beers. Fascinated by the international trade of jewelry, Fleming outlines the plot of the new episode. Once again the setting is in America, but this time instead of New York and Florida, location of Live and Let Die, Fleming chose the Las Vegas casinos, horse racing at Saratoga and highways of Los Angeles. A boost to his career comes by that totally disinterested that the great noir writer Raymond Chandler offers to his friend English. The creator of Philip Marlowe wrote a tremendous tribute to the grand slam of death " Ian Fleming is the writer most effective and incisive literary genre that I think that England is still called thriller. "Fleming ponders a long time but to terminate the adventures of his hero. In fact, he feels exhausted and disappointed by the results of the sale of his books. In addition, the total identification with his character led him to gather information and experience first surrogate those adventures later describes in astonishing ways. This exhausts the creative process not only physically but also psychologically.

As James Bond can not earn enough, Fleming decided to get rid of him who now sarcastically calls "that cardboard puppet." The fifth and final novel in his intentions should have been the epitaph of Bond and for this would be a more serious and introspective. In From Russia with love, according to his intentions, the SMERSH would attract 007 in a death trap using as bait a beautiful girl. The hero would fall into the trap and with an unexpected ending, it would not be able to get by. The story would have had the narrative center of the plots of the Kremlin that Fleming had got to know well during his stay in Russia for the agency Reuter. The setting, however, would be Istanbul. The choice falls on Turkey as his friend Sir Ronald Howe at Scotland Yard have to travel to Istanbul for a meeting of Interpol. For Fleming is a unique opportunity.
During his stay at Goldeneye ends Fleming From Russia with Love then follows his friend Ivar Bryce in a brief three-day trip to Inagua, Bahamas, to admire the pink flamingos. The strange island, with a gray swamp, only sixty centimeters deep, the inspiration for the macabre Dr Julius No. Inagua shelter would become Crab Key, the scene of another firm of Bond in Dr No . Once
Fleming returned to London starts to suffer from his nagging sciatica. Accept therefore take shelter at Enton Hall at the London Clinic, a nursing home into shape for the brokers with physiotherapy and a strict diet, no alcohol. Here again the experience will be useful a few years later, when his ship to detoxify Bond in Thunderball .
Decided to abandon her baby, Fleming sold the film rights for $ 6,000 at Casino Royale in Gregory Ratoff and with the proceeds you buy a spectacular Thunderbird from 190 horses.
Leaving From Russia with love Fleming begins to doubt whether the result literary work. Bond wanted to make a real human being but his character is once again devoid of humor, two-dimensional. The reviews are lukewarm but given the public's growing Fleming changed his mind and decides to give a new opportunity to his cardboard puppet. His future novels, however, would be pure entertainment, without literary ambitions whatsoever.

Towards the end of November 1954, something unexpected happens to cause a huge advertisement for the writer. After the Suez Canal crisis of British Prime Minister Anthony Eden fell into a deep state of stress. The doctors recommend a holiday, possibly out of England. The Colonial Secretary Alan Lennox-Boyd, a close friend of Fleming, suggests the prime minister to go to rest in Jamaica, Goldeneye. Fleming course provides his house and since then the press is poured before the little villa, however austere and devoid of comfort, to spy on the conditions of the illustrious guest. The ensuing media uproar, the Daily Express takes the decision to serialise From Russia with love. The response was immediate and convincing the publisher to print the paperback edition of the immediately preceding volumes, which have a surge in sales. After five long years has finally started the race to the best seller. Two Fleming identifies the factors to explain his unexpected success. The first is that the popular audience, the one who buys the paperback edition of the adventures of 007, is fascinated by the environment and the luxury that surrounds James Bond. The second is the popularity acquired by Fleming in the newspapers with the story of the holiday the prime minister. The combination of Fleming-Bond time is indissoluble, is intended to turn into myth.
the summer of 1957, finally abandoned the intentions of letting her die hen that lays golden eggs, Ian begins to work Goldfinger, where he expresses his admiration for wealth.
the end of 1958 accepts a deal with CBS for a TV series in 32 episodes devoted to her character. The occasion for him is essential, both for economic reasons than for literary reasons. Fleming, in fact, more and more difficult to write 70,000 words of fiction as usual is pretty easy to write stories. Taking advantage of the Risk writes, Landscape and death and For Your Eyes Only . Along with A quantum security , written during a return trip from the Seychelles, and The rarity Hildenbrand, stories are grouped in a single volume entitled For Your Eyes Only .
In the fall of 1958, the writer knows the filmmaker Kevin McClory. His friend Ivar Bryce suddenly producer and has funded the first work by McClory, The Boy and The Bridge . The two become friends, and it is estimated that in short the idea to make the first Bond film, produced by Bryce. The collaboration, however, begins to crack after a few months. The difficulty in finding a good subject and the commercial flop of The Boy and The Bridge, are wavering Fleming and Bryce. On the advice of that Fleming was involved in the project also screenwriter Jack Whittingam. Ian Bryce also advised to contact the director Anthony Asquith and then Alfred Hitchcock, no longer convinced of the artistic abilities of McClory. The situation becomes increasingly muddled and stress that much Fleming took advantage of the proposed new owner of the Sunday Times, the Canadian Roy Thomson, agreed to leave for five weeks around the world to make a report in installments, then published in a book The cities of the title thrill. Fleming and McClory Whittingam first spring for the trip, then write Thunderball. Without worrying about the consequences he conceived the story as "the book of the film, the novel, the script and Whittingam McClory and adding some new situations such as hospitalization for Bond, so throwing in a legal mess that will last many years.
McClory sues Fleming for plagiarism. The legal dispute is a blow to the writer that on April 12, 1961 is affected by the first heart attack while in a meeting on Tuesday morning with the entire editorial staff of the Sunday Times. The doctors, during his long convalescence, the other facing a lifestyle that includes a total ban on drinking and smoking, as well as long periods of rest. Fleming followed the advice for a few weeks and then resumed his bad habits. The event, however, has severely weakened and it is precisely for this reason that when the Canadian producer Harry Saltzman, with his partner Albert Broccoli Italian American (who has a serious contact with the United Artists), is proposed for the purchase of film rights of all his novels, he accepts the offer. Experience with McClory has deeply touched and he refrains from interfering in the work of Dr. No (in Italian Licence to Kill), the first title chosen for the movie series. Nor is involved in the choice of the protagonist. At the request suggests the name of David Niven, his close friend, but his contribution to film the events of 007 confined to that.
Meanwhile the cause of plagiarism is simply a transaction between the parties in which he states that McClory's name must be present in any film version of Thunderball . Also in 1961
open permanently Fleming to the doors of success but also those of the disease. On March 17, the character of James Bond gets a spectacular launch. Life magazine publishes a list of ten favorite novels of the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Alongside the classics of literature as The Red and the Black Stendhal , ninth figure From Russia with love. Fleming had met Kennedy at a dinner in Washington a year before but had never imagined such an honor. This news makes off the sales of his novels in America.
early 1962 Fleming writes in Jamaica The spy who loved me . His experiment to tell the story in first person the protagonist of the story, Bond breaking and making only the second part, is considered a failure for the public, who wants 007 more in action. With Secret Service he therefore returns to the traditional formula bondiana.
In early 1963 he traveled to Japan, scene of his new book, You Only Live Twice , along with his friend Richard Hughes and Tora "Tiger" Saito. Meanwhile, the films based on Dr No and From Russia with Love achieved worldwide success and Fleming decided to sell 51 percent of Glidrose, amounting to 100,000 pounds, to his friend Sir Jack Campbell of Booker Brothers. A pittance, if you think of Bond as he gains only in merchandising. But the heart continues to harass Fleming writes Man with the Golden Gun very slowly, exhausted, without having even the power to review it.
On April 27, 1964 his mother dies. Fleming follows eighteen days later in the night of August 12. It will not live to see Goldfinger, the film that would finally sealed the birth of the myth of Bond film and its author.

MY NAME IS FLEMING

1 - Dead Poets Society

Ian Fleming was born May 29, 1908 in the district of Mayfair in London. His grandfather, Robert Fleming of Scotland, made his fortune in America and is considered the father financial investment companies. Ian's father, Valentine, is one of those Edwardian characters of noble lineage, being raised in a refined setting. He attended the first Eton, then Oxford, where he graduated in law. He then became MP for South Oxfordshire and 18 February 1906, at age 24, wife Evelyn St. Croix Rose, a provincial shy and reserved.
From an early age Ian was a child strong, vibrant and melancholy, and his temperament is just unconventional and less inclined to study. Mandate with his brother Peter (larger than a year) on Duruford School, hates Ian immediately authoritarian environment and strict discipline.
The loss of his father, in May 1917 during the First World War, is bound to influence the youth of the young, the parent who sees a legendary figure, who with his courage deserved an obituary in The Times of Winston Churchill. The rich
Valentine leaves all his property to his wife that they therefore have to look after children alone. Both
Peter Ian enrolling at Eton but, unlike Peter who now excels in the study, Ian differs only in sports, making Victor Ludorum in athletics. Because of his behavior with the girls he is forced to leave college with a quarter in advance to pursue a military career at Sandhurst. However, even that experience does not last long. After one semester, in fact, the guy resigns from the military college.
Desperate, the mother sends a seventeen year old Ian Kitzbuel at Dennis Forbis family. The couple have a significant influence on the young, making him by tutors and by starting the diplomatic service. This is where Ian discovered his love of books for women and the mountain. Ian
also during his tenure improves his French, German and start speaking Russian. The competition in diplomacy turns out to be another failure. Four years after Fleming was forced to return to live with his mother. The latter, concerned about the misadventures of his son, makes sure that find profitable employment as soon as possible. She is to get his son a job with the Reuter news agency. After a trial period of six months, during which he was happy, comes the first big break. A Fleming, in fact, be given an opportunity to go to Moscow to follow the trial of six British Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Company, who were accused in March of 1933 by the Soviet police (the dreaded Glepeù) of espionage and sabotage. The process has now gone down in history alongside the great Stalinist purges of the '30s. The stay in Moscow is crucial for the neo reporter, who has the opportunity to observe closely the methods of Glepeù. This is destined to become valuable experience many years later during the writing of From Russia with Love. During the process, culminating in the conviction of five employees (later expelled from the USSR), Fleming demonstrates creativity and initiative to the satisfaction of Reuter.
The agency would continue working but Fleming surrender to the role of correspondent in Shanghai to take the profession of stockbroker.
After having worked for some years in the City Fleming is called to a new job, much more lively.

One morning in May of 1939, the thirty year old is invited to lunch by Rear Admiral John Godfrey, recently appointed Director of Information Service of the Navy (NID). On the eve of the conflict, Godfrey is responsible for calling into action the spy organization and needs an assistant. Ian enthusiastically accepts the offer, because he seems perfect opportunity to feed his dreams of adventure. For almost six years working in the legendary room number 38 of the Admiralty, the scene of all major decisions of World War II. Here's how to stand out thanks to his dedication, his imagination and his courage. Experience is essential to a gym, from which Fleming will draw from the handful in his novels.
During the conflict is actively involved to various diplomatic missions, travels to Tangier, Lisbon, is committed in France during the capitulation of the French Government, goes to America and saw the birth of the American secret services. It is also distinguished by his bizarre ideas, such as to bring the magician Alistair Crowley in the role of mediator with Rudolph Hess, or study the life dell'Oberturbandführer Otto Skorzeny, head of German espionage. Imitating his antagonist, he creates the assault units 30, one of the most extra-ordinarily self-British Army, whose task is to retrieve documents of the wartime enemy.

In the fall of 1944, after having gone to Washington for a working liaison with the secret service of the U.S. Navy, Fleming went to Kingston, Jamaica, to represent the NID to a conference on the threat of German submarines in the Caribbean Sea. To get the part with his friend Ivar Bryce for a long train ride on the Silver Meteor. It is a journey so fascinating that he later will use it in Live and Let Die. Fleming now loves Jamaica and, with one of his impulsive decisions, decides to elect a future summer residence. He therefore asks his friend Bryce to find him six acres of land to buy them and those located in Oracabessa. When he sees the pictures of the land, with its hidden beaches and the jungle behind, Fleming does not hesitate a moment and bought the lot, personally designing the house he called Goldeneye. The name suggests it to him the novel by Carson McCullers' Reflections in a Golden Eye (in English Reflections in a Golden Eye). On 10 November 1945
Fleming takes his leave from the army. A 37-year-old man who must reinvent their lives. After having toyed with the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing into secret service MI6, accepts the offer of Lord Kemsley to organize a foreign news service to its chain of newspapers, among which is also the Sunday Times. The reward of 5000 pounds a year is good, Fleming also gets two months off the year in which he took refuge in Goldeneye, next friend Noel Coward, dedicated to swimming, diving and hunting for sharks. However after a few years that work becomes a prison for him and his restless mind wakes up, unable to withstand the everyday office squabbles. In 1949, he understands that the hopes placed in a high-level career in journalism are gone. Once again the disappointment of the crisis raises profound melancholy, which dilutes the 70 cigarettes daily and a quart of gin. Health begins to falter. Fleming acknowledge a feeling of tightness in the chest that doctors underestimate the beginning.
During these years cultivating important friendships in the field of publishing. First, the poet and novelist William Plomer, His colleague at the NID during the war, literary consultant and publisher Jonathan Cape. Another important relationship is with the poet Dame Edith Sitwell, with whom he shares a passion for Paracelsus. And then the playwright Noel Coward, his neighbor in Jamaica.
On 24 March 1952, at age 43, he married Lady Rothermere Fleming, formerly Lady O'Neill, born Anne Charteris. The woman, intelligent, strong and determined, does break the heart of inveterate macho after a six-year relationship.
