Was Ian Fleming James Bond? Many think so. Certainly the super-hero and his creator had similarities - an aristocratic background, sophisticated tastes, a fatal appeal to women, and an intimate knowledge of the of international spy rings. Still Fleming disclaimed any relation to "that cardboard body" he so felicitously invented. And while he might, as readers of John Pearson's breath-taking biography of Fleming will soon find out. For most of what James Bond could do Fleming did better. Unlike Bond, the author inspired great love as well as lust; unlike Bond he was brilliant, sensitive, and highly talented. And finally, unlike Bond, Fleming shunned violence as a solution to human conflicts. In this fascinating book, which is a profound psychological study, Pearson separates the creator from the created. He masterfully unravels the essential Fleming from the golden cocoon of illusion he wove around himself. He reveals that while Fleming incorporated his own adventures in James Bond's - his car accident in Munich becomes Scaramanga's lethal railway in The Man with the Golden Gun - Fleming also uses his creation to fulfill his own daydreams, and to alleviate his very real - and quite baseless - sense of failure. The most startling example of this bizarre transformation is the character "M," icy and omniscient head of British Secret Service. Pearson, in one of the truly great feats of biographical research, identifies the real - and surprising - counterpart to this character. Fact, fiction; illusion, reality; confidence, insecurity; love, repulsion - these mirror images that pursued Fleming/Bond all his life will haunt the reader of this audacious biography, surely one of the most remarkable portraits of "a hero of our times." Pearson, became acquainted with Fleming while working with him on The Sunday Times. To gather material for this book he traveled more than 100,000 miles, interviewed almost 150 people, and made an extensive study of Fleming's private paper.

Buy it
If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
