PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Nader Elhefnawy (Author)
Just what inspired the original James Bond novels? How did the books lay the foundations for the classic Bond films of the '60s-and how did the films break with the books? Afterward, how did Everything or Nothing productions manage to keep the audience coming back for a half century? What really changed in the reboot-and what stayed the same? And where do the later Bond novels of writers like John Gardner and William Boyd fit in?JAMES BOND'S EVOLUTION: FROM CASINO ROYALE TO SPECTRE looks at all these questions and more in a study not just of the novels or the films but both which traces the broader Bond phenomenon from its origins in post-World War II Britain to the present. In doing so it looks not just at where it all came from, but how the Bond films and books were transformed time and again to stay popular through six decades of tumultuous political and cultural change.
