| Stylishly illustrated, "For
Your Eyes Only" will incorporate a treasure-trove
of gadgets, costumes, props, and storyboards from the films
- Daniel Craig's blood-stained shirt from Casino Royale,
the Aston Martin DB5, complete with weaponry - as well
as memorabilia from Fleming's personal archive: his smoking
jacket, the manuscript for Casino Royale, his golden typewriter,
his guns, and much more.
Alongside this array of extraordinary visuals, Ben Macintyre
tells the story of how Fleming created the most popular
legend of all time. On the centenary of Fleming's birth,
he looks at the real people on whom the writer based his
fictional creations - friends, colleagues, lovers, and
of course, the notorious villains.
Exploring the tradition
of spy fiction past and present - with specific attention
to the Cold War - Macintyre explains the astonishing
legacy of the Bond books and the enduring appeal of a fictional
secret agent who not only lived twice, but proved to
be
immortal. |
