When I read it I was fifteen, and I had seen three times all Sean Connery's Bond movies. It shocked me, and I read all the others book in the series, from my father's bookshelf. I have no idea if I would like it today, but I still can remember the dark, violent and pitiless atmosphere of the books when confronted with the Martini-and-aftershave spirit of the movies. ( ) Fleming had planned to end the series with this story and he goes all in: over-the-top villains, hidden & disguised weapons, brutal fight scenes… SMERSH trains a young female agent to seduce Bond with the idea of ultimately involving him in a scandal that will blacken MI6’s reputation. To bait the trap, the lovely Tanya Romanova promises to defect and is bringing a cipher machine to Istanbul. This story is by far the closest to being “Hollywood” with its action lines, intrigue and local color (Turkey). Toby Stephens played the villain in a non-Fleming Bond movie, Die Another Day and delivered a pitch perfect performance. Oh, good lord. As with a couple of these books, at about 1/4 of the way through I wondered why I don't read these books every year. They are funny, well-written, and just drip with ideas and knowledge of the spy-trade. It's all very fun. And then there's an interlude in with a Turkish MI6 agent recounts his meet-cute with his first wife (it involved kidnapping her and chaining her below his kitchen table, and then after being unchained by the diplomat's mother, not wanting to leave), and it's like: "Oh, now I remember". Anyway - even by Fleming standards, the misogyny is off the chain, here, with entirely too much female perspective being written about, and absolutely none of it ringing true in any way. But, to reiterate, it's really well written, funny, with interesting characters and schemes interacting in novel ways, and extremely plausible observations of the psychology of the male characters all over the place (e.g., it is absolutely plausible the diplomat would believe the story went that way). And the audiobook (which I bounced between that and the kindle), read by Toby Stephens, is fantastic on a number of vectors. He's a very good narrator.
10 of the Greatest Cold War Spy Novels “Though Ian Fleming himself had worked in intelligence during the Second World War, James Bond was a fantasy figure in the tradition of Bulldog Drummond, the Saint, and Mike Hammer, and Fu Manchu provided the pattern for Bond’s uber-foes (specifically, in the case of Dr. No, 1962). But in this, his fifth Bond novel, Fleming plays a straight espionage game, with Russia’s counter-intelligence agency SMERSH out to kill Bond in the context of a contrived sexual scandal. The first section of the novel depicts the planning of the mission and the training of Soviet assassin Red Grant. The 1963 film version with Sean Connery is the most faithful of Bond adaptations, rivaled only by On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) and Casino Royale (2006).” Está contido emCasino Royale / Live and Let Die / Diamonds Are Forever / From Russia with Love / Dr. No / Goldfinger de Ian Fleming Casino Royale / Live and Let Die / Diamonds Are Forever / From Russia with Love / Goldfinger de Ian Fleming Ian Fleming's James Bond: Dr. No / Moonraker / Thunderball / From Russia with Love / On Her Majesty's Secret Service / Goldfinger de Ian Fleming Casino Royale / Live and Let Die / Moonraker / Diamonds Are Forever / From Russia with Love / Dr. No / Goldfinger / For Your Eyes Only / Thunderball / The Spy Who Loved Me / On Her Majesty's Secret Service / You Only Live Twice / The Man with the Golden Gun / Octopussy and The Living Daylights de Ian Fleming Tem a adaptaçãoÉ resumida em
