James bond navels
From 1953 to the present day , dozens of novels and a number of short stories have been published chronicling the adventures of a British secret agent James Bond, often referred to by his code name, 007. The character was created by Ian Fleming, first appearing in his novel Casino Royale .Following Fleming's 1964 death and the posthumous publication of some remnant works by him over the next few years, others were commissioned to write continuation novels. These post-Fleming novels were issued sporadically in the late 1960s and '70s, then regularly between 1981 and 2002, at which point the series was put on hiatus. Two spinoff series of books, Young Bond and The Moneypenny Diaries, were published after this point, but in the spring of the original James Bond novel series returned with the publication of a new work by Sebastian Faulks.Having already embarked on a commercially and critically successful series of Bond novels, Fleming by the late 1950s began occasionally to sell Bond short stories to high-profile periodicals.His first collection of stories, For Your Eyes Only, arose from teleplays he had written for a CBS television series under development based on the Bond character. When that project fell through, Fleming reworked them into the short stories 'Risico', 'For Your Eyes Only', and 'From a View to a Kill'. This collection was rounded out with two more pieces—'Quantum of Solace' and 'The Hildebrand Rarity'—which earlier Fleming had sold to magazines.A posthumously issued second anthology, Octopussy and The Living Daylights (in some editions titled merely Octopussy), originally contained only the two title stories. Two other stories previously published in periodicals were incorporated into later editions: 'The Property of a Lady' beginning with the mass market paperback edition; and '007 in New York' beginning with a trade paperback. all the Bond stories were published together for the first time in a single volume, Quantum of Solace: The complete James Bond short stories, which was simply a back-to-back compilation of the two previous Bond story collections. The title of this omnibus collection was timed for the release, later that same year, of the Bond film Quantum of Solace, which had been named for one of the stories (though the film's plot was unrelated to that story).
