摘要:With the release of the film
Casino Royale in November of
2006 and the upcoming
release of Quantum of Solace in November
of 2008 revitalizing the Bond film
industry, there has been an enthusiastic
return to Ian Fleming’s 007 novels and
short stories. As old readers return and
young readers begin to discover the fun
in reading these works, they will find
with unanticipated pleasure a depth of
thought and subtlety in the 007 literary
works which are often lost in their film
versions. This literary sophistication is
of particular interest to those familiar
with the Greeks and Romans, since the
novels are replete with the classical allusions
and themes with which Fleming’s
Eton schooling – the British secondary
education emphasizing the classics –
made him familiar.
