ONCE UPON A TIME... JAMES BOND

The first biography of the "hero in tuxedo". Release of the new James Bond film: 11th November 2020

Everybody knows his name. Everybody knows his number. But do we really know the man behind Her ajesty's spy? What do know about the character born from the fertile imagination of a misogynist English dandy: Ian Fleming?

007 likes the hearty breakfasts, regrets that he had to leave his Beretta .25, thinks that the perfect woman can “make Sauce Béarnaise as well as love”, deplores to have to kill on duty but accepts easily for England. Naturally suspicious, he is not friendly except if it is required by his mission. Meticulous, sometimes cynical, he remains professional under all circumstances. He is not only one of the best MI-6 components but also the most devoted.

Guillaume Evin read all the James Bond books, watched all the movies and collected everything about the “hero in tuxedo” to offer us the first complete portrait of this fictional character – but as famous as Her Majesty. In an original style and a unique point of view, he unveils all the secrets, from his childhood (for instance: who are his parents?) to his daily habits.
