    Ian Fleming

    Ian Lancaster Fleming (28 May 1908 – 12 August


    1964) was a British writer, best known for his
    postwar James Bond series of spy novels. Fleming
    came from a wealthy family connected to the
    merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co., and his
    father was the Member of Parliament (MP) for
    Henley from 1910 until his death on the Western
    Front in 1917. Educated at Eton, Sandhurst, and,
    briefly, the universities of Munich and Geneva,
    Fleming moved through several jobs before he
    started writing.
    While working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War,
    Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of
    two intelligence units, 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. He drew from his wartime service and
    his career as a journalist for much of the background, detail, and depth of his James Bond
    novels.
    Fleming wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952. It was a success, with three print
    runs being commissioned to cope with the demand. Eleven Bond novels and two collections
    of short stories followed between 1953 and 1966. The novels revolve around James Bond, an
    officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. Bond is also known by
    his code number, 007, and was a commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. The
    Bond stories rank among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, having sold over
    100 million copies worldwide. Fleming also wrote the children's story
    Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang and two works of non-fiction. In 2008, The Times ranked Fleming
    14th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
    Fleming was married to Ann Charteris. She had divorced her husband, the 2nd Viscount
    Rothermere, because of her affair with the author. Fleming and Charteris had a son, Caspar.
    Fleming was a heavy smoker and drinker for most of his life and succumbed to heart disease
    in 1964 at the age of 56. Two of his James Bond books were published posthumously; other
    writers have since produced Bond novels. Fleming's creation has appeared in film
    twenty-seven times, portrayed by seven actors.
    Ian Fleming
    Ian Lancaster Fleming (28 de mayo de 1908 - 12 de
    agosto de 1964) fue un escritor británico, conocido
    sobre todo por su serie de novelas de espionaje de
    posguerra James Bond. Fleming procedía de una
    familia adinerada vinculada al banco mercantil
    Robert Fleming & Co., y su padre fue miembro del
    Parlamento (MP) por Henley desde 1910 hasta su
    muerte en el Frente Occidental en 1917. Educado en
    Eton, Sandhurst y, brevemente, en las
    universidades de Munich y Ginebra, Fleming pasó
    por varios empleos antes de empezar a escribir.
    Mientras trabajaba para la División de Inteligencia Naval británica durante la Segunda
    Guerra Mundial, Fleming participó en la planificación de la operación Goldeneye y en la
    planificación y supervisión de dos unidades de inteligencia, la 30 Assault Unit y la T-Force.
    De su servicio en la guerra y de su carrera como periodista extrajo gran parte del trasfondo,
    los detalles y la profundidad de sus novelas de James Bond.
    Fleming escribió su primera novela Bond, Casino Royale, en 1952. Fue un éxito y se
    encargaron tres tiradas para hacer frente a la demanda. Entre 1953 y 1966 siguieron once
    novelas de Bond y dos colecciones de relatos cortos. Las novelas giran en torno a James
    Bond, un oficial del Servicio Secreto de Inteligencia, conocido comúnmente como MI6. Bond
    también es conocido por su número de código, 007, y fue comandante de la Real Reserva
    Naval de Voluntarios. Las historias de Bond figuran entre las series de libros de ficción más
    vendidas de todos los tiempos, con más de 100 millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el
    mundo. Fleming también escribió el cuento infantil Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang y dos obras de
    no ficción. En 2008, The Times situó a Fleming en el puesto 14 de su lista de "Los 50 mejores
    escritores británicos desde 1945".
    Fleming estaba casado con Ann Charteris. Ésta se había divorciado de su marido, el II
    Vizconde Rothermere, a causa de su aventura con el escritor. Fleming y Charteris tuvieron
    un hijo, Caspar. Fleming fue un fumador empedernido y un bebedor empedernido durante la
    mayor parte de su vida y sucumbió a una enfermedad cardiaca en 1964 a la edad de 56 años.
    Dos de sus libros sobre James Bond se publicaron póstumamente; desde entonces, otros
    escritores han producido novelas de Bond. La creación de Fleming ha aparecido en el cine en
    veintisiete ocasiones, interpretada por siete actores.
