“The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul-erosion produced by high gambling – a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension – becomes unbearable and the senses awake and revolt from it.”
So begins Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, first published in April 1953 and the start
of James Bond’s literary career. Although critised at the time for “sex, sadism and snobbery”, the books of Ian Fleming feature a more complex character than found in
the films and are full of detail and vivid imagination.
This site looks at the character of James Bond, 007, the secret agent with a licence
to kill.
