About the author
Ian Fleming
744 books3,386 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
Ian Lancaster Fleming was an English writer, best known for his postwar James Bond series of spy novels. Fleming came from a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co., and his father was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Henley from 1910 until his death on the Western Front in 1917. Educated at Eton, Sandhurst, and, briefly, the universities of Munich and Geneva, Fleming moved through several jobs before he started writing.
While working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War, Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of two intelligence units: 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. He drew from his wartime service and his career as a journalist for much of the background, detail, and depth of his James Bond novels.
Fleming wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952, at age 44. It was a success, and three print runs were commissioned to meet the demand. Eleven Bond novels and two collections of short stories followed between 1953 and 1966. The novels centre around James Bond, an officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. Bond is also known by his code number, 007, and was a commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. The Bond stories rank among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, having sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Fleming also wrote the children's story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang and two works of non-fiction. In 2008, The Times ranked Fleming 14th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
Fleming was married to Ann Fleming. She had divorced her husband, the 2nd Viscount Rothermere, because of her affair with the author. Fleming and Ann had a son, Caspar. Fleming was a heavy smoker and drinker for most of his life and succumbed to heart disease in 1964 at the age of 56. Two of his James Bond books were published posthumously; other writers have since produced Bond novels. Fleming's creation has appeared in film twenty-seven times, portrayed by six actors in the official film series.

Ambientada durante el periodo de la Guerra Fría, James Bond se ve envuelto en una conspiración donde una agente soviética desea desertar y cómo prueba de buena voluntad le entregará al gobierno británico una pieza de inteligencia soviética, aunque en el fondo, ésta última organización es quien ha puesto la escena para poder aniquilar al agente 007.
En lo personal deseaba leer a dicho autor por curiosidad narrativa, y el por qué se hizo tan popular en el público lector de su época.
Los recursos que utiliza nos describe escenarios con un toque exótico, presenta al inicio de la obra el contexto en el que los villanos y co protagonistas se desarrollan.
Otra curiosidad de leerlo es porque recuerdo que en la adaptación cinematográfica participó Pedro Armendáriz y, aunque ya realizaré en su momento la comparación con la novela.
Es entretenido aunque quizás si tuve que hacer algunas pausas debido a que el autor utiliza frases o parte de un argot en francés para darle un toque entre sofisticado y/o elegante para expresar alguna situación peculiar.

Muchos piensan que esta es la mejor novela de la serie de James Bond. Aún no las he leído todas pero sí me pareció mejor que las anteriores. La trama es menos espectacular que en Casino Royale, Vive y Deja Morir, Moonraker y Los Diamantes son Eternos, y quizá por ello es más realista y sesuda. Naturalmente la trama de esta novela es parte de la gran historia de James Bond el agente 007 y por ello vale la pena leerla después de haber leído las cuatro novelas anteriores en orden cronológico. Muy buena historia ficticia de espionaje, muy recomendable.
(Por cierto, la película de 1963 con Sean Connery en el rol estelar también es buenísima y se apega mucho a la trama de la novela.)
