About From Russia, with Love (novel) in brief
From Russia, with Love is the fifth novel by the English author Ian Fleming to feature his fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond. Fleming wrote the story in early 1956 at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica; at the time he thought it might be his final Bond book. The story centres on a plot by SMERSH, the Soviet counter-intelligence agency, to assassinate Bond in such a way as to discredit both him and his organisation. As bait, the Russians use a beautiful cipher clerk and the Spektor, a Soviet decoding machine. Much of the action takes place in Istanbul and on the Orient Express. The novel was first published in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on 8 April 1957. In 1963 it was adapted into the second film in the Bond series, starring Sean Connery. The book’s sales were boosted by an advertising campaign that played upon a visit by the British Prime Minister Anthony Eden to the GoldeneYE estate, and the publication of an article in Life, which listed From Russia, With Love as one of U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s ten favourite books. It was serialised in the Daily Express newspaper, first in an abridged, multi-part form and then as a comic strip, and was also made into a TV series and a film. The film version of the book was released in 2013. The movie version was released on November 25, 2013. It is the 50th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond film, The Man Who Knew Too Much, starring Daniel Craig and Daniel Radcliffe.
The second James Bond movie, The Deathly Hallows Part II, is released on December 18, 2013, and will be the third Bond film to be released in the UK that year. The third, The Life and Death of James Bond, will be released on January 25, 2014. The fourth and fifth James Bond films will be screened on January 21, 2015 and January 22, 2015. The fifth Bond film will be The Man With The Golden Gun, starring Ian McKellan and Daniel Craig, which will be shown in cinemas across the UK and Europe. The sixth and seventh Bond films are expected to be screened in Australia and New Zealand in 2015 and 2016, and in the US in 2016 and 2017. The final Bond film is The Kite Runner, which is due to be shown at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in September 2015. It will also be screened at the Sydney Opera House in Australia in November 2016. The last Bond film was The Kitesurr, which was released at the end of October 2013, to coincide with the 30th birthday of Bond’s son, Daniel Bond, who was born in 1964. The first Bond film has been released in Australia on November 28, 2015, and it will be followed by the James Bond biopic, The Kitten, which airs on November 30, 2016, in Australia, and then in the U.K. in March 2017.
