Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,7, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: James Bond. There is hardly a person in the Western world who has never heard of the almost mythical secret agent; who has never seen at least one movie or heard the famous quotation "Bond. James Bond." The secret agent, originally invented by the British author Ian Fleming has almost become something like a brand: there is just one Bond out there. Or, in this case seven. Ever since Ian Fleming published the first novel starring who would become the world's most famous spy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, there have been many different interpretations of the character that actually is James Bond. The factors that played a major role in this matter were dependant on a number of different aspects. Even though it is undisputable that, in the case of the movies, one of the factors is always the actor, there are a number of different aspects to be taken into consideration: cultural and historical ones.
