It involves a series of related fundamental questions about Bond that artists must reckon with when interpreting Bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is James Bond and what, if anything, beyond successfully completing a mission, does he really want? What drives him? Why did he become an agent? What is the nature of his inner life? Would he be capable of a satisfying life away from high-octane adventure and danger? These questions challenge and inspire the creators to pull back the curtain on a deliberately opaque figure in an attempt to explore and analyze Bonds' interior life and thought processes, and how the Bond actors have interpreted the role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 606g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 177 x 253 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781493059393\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Edlitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095499305210,"sku":"9781493059393","price":16.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646154731549_book.jpg?v=1646912599","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-many-lives-of-james-bond-how-the-creators-of-007-have-decoded-the-superspy-9781493059393","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
