Critical Essay by Bernard Bergonzi
1,587 words, approx. 5 pages

Hannay's adversaries, before and during World War I, were the somewhat casual and heavy-handed emissaries of...

Bond, a bold and all but heartless British secret agent, versus Le Chiffre, an enigma of a Soviet agent wrapped in M.V.D...

At any rate he takes very great care over his food and drink, and sees women's clothes with an expertness of which Bulldog Drummond would have been ashamed…. [The] especial charm of Mr. Fleming's book is the high poetr...
