Was there more Ian Fleming in James Bond than he admitted?
materials creates a compelling narrative that justifies its bold subtitle, The Full Man.
But like the epochal life of famed travel writer Bruce Chatwin, Shakespeare has taken an incredibly complex subject and figured it out. Born in Mayfair in 1908, Ian Lancaster Fleming was the son of the privileged class but the grandson of a self-made man. Robert Fleming, Ian's grandfather, an accountant from Dundee, practically invented the investment fund. Ian's father, Valentine Fleming MP, died in France when Ian was eight and his monstrous mother, Iva, took over all the power. "She was the greed of Goldfinger, the snob'\''ism of Blofeld, the icy heart of Dr. Noh, the cruelty of Rose Klebb ..." - notes Shakespeare. "No one else in Ian's life has been so'did not epitomize what Bond is waging his battle against'.
Besides his mother and growing up in the shadow of his heroic father, Ian suffered because of the brilliance of his older brother Peter. It was only at the age of 40 that Ian was able to overcome it. Thus, family was both torment and motivation.
At school, Ian was twice a Ludorum winner, but despite Eva's connections, he left Eton and Sandhurst Military Academy to avoid disgrace and failed his Foreign Office exam. But all was not yet lost - he could seduce in four languages.
It wasn't until World War II that he found his calling as personal assistant to Admiral John Godfrey, Director of Naval Intelligence (and the inspiration for M in the Bond novels). Although he was soon promoted to commodore,'"Lord Shane O'Neill. Before the war, she began an affair with Esmond Harmsworth, heir to the newspaper empire, and by 1940 with Fleming.
In 1944, O'\''Neill died in Italy. Fleming did not dare to marry, so Anne married Harmsworth, who at the time became Viscount Razermere, and began a successful career as one of London's premier post-military hostesses. Fleming's sadomasochistic affair with Anne continued unabated. The Sunday Times, where he was an external manager, referred to him as "Lady Razermere's admirer".
In 1942, he fell in love with Jamaica and built a house there called Goldeneye. It was here, 'about February 17, 1952', Shakespeare suggests, that Fleming sat down to write his first Bond. By then, Anne had divorced from''Razerized and was pregnant by Fleming, who needed a best-selling novel to support his expensive spouse.
"The smell and smoke and sweat of the casino are nauseating at three o'clock in the morning," was his first sentence in Casino Royale, the novel in which a weary James Bond appeared at the gaming tables at the Royal-le-Zoo in a weary world still reeling from rationing and realizing that Britain was no longer great. As Shakespeare notes, Fleming's Bond was so devoid of personal detail that he became a dream man. Readers saw themselves "in Bond's shoes, in his automobile, in his bed, overcoming life's difficulties with the ease of one of the elite. "
But today, two generations later, Bond's luxurious world, with its refined tastes and preferences in''every day, and oceans of alcohol meant that by his early 60s he had "lost his breath and enthusiasm". He died on August 12, 1964, at the age of 56. Shakespearean tragedy.
