Description
Ian Fleming: A Life of Colour and Deception The life of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, is as fascinating as it is elusive. This biography, first published in 1966, offers a unique insight into the life of a man who led a life as colourful as his fiction. Based on Pearson's own memories, private papers, and interviews with those who knew him, this book provides a comprehensive account of Fleming's life, from his wartime intelligence work to his later years as a newspaper editor. Fleming's life was marked by globetrotting, womanising, and a ruthless charm that belied his more vulnerable side. This biography examines the extent to which Fleming's character informs the movie portrayals of Bond, from Sean Connery through to Daniel Craig. With its new introduction, this edition offers a fresh perspective on a man who has achieved immortality beyond his wildest dreams. With 518 pages of detailed information, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the life and times of Ian Fleming.
