Nobody Lives For Ever

Серия: "James Bond"

Take care 007. Take special care. The continent's a hotbed of villainy these days and you can never be too careful Bond was supposed to be on leave. But SPECTRE leader Tamil Rahani, dying from injuries suffered at Bond's hand, is determined to make it the holiday to die for. With a price on his head, Bond must evade the world's greatest assassins in a ruthless game of cat-and-mouse across Europe, while trying to save the lives of the two women who matter to him most, his housekeeper May and Miss Moneypenny. But Bond has been a target before. And when it comes to staying alive, nobody does it better than 007. In Nobody Lives Forever, the fifth in Gardner's bestselling series, Fleming's superspy is at the top of his game.

Gardner, John

▪ American author
in full  John Champlin Gardner, Jr.  
born July 21, 1933, Batavia, N.Y., U.S.
died Sept. 14, 1982, near Susquehanna, Pa.

      American novelist and poet whose philosophical fiction reveals his characters' inner conflicts.

      Gardner attended Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri (A.B., 1955), and the University of Iowa (M.A., 1956; Ph.D., 1958) and then taught at various colleges and universities throughout the United States, including Oberlin (Ohio) College, Bennington (Vermont) College, and the University of Rochester, New York.

      Gardner published two novels, The Resurrection (1966) and The Wreckage of Agathon (1970), before his reputation was established with the appearance of Grendel (1971), a retelling of the Beowulf story from the point of view of the monster. His next novel, The Sunlight Dialogues (1972), is an ambitious epic with a large cast of characters. Later novels by Gardner include October Light (1976; National Book Critics Circle Award), Freddy's Book (1980), and Mickelsson's Ghosts (1982). He died in a motorcycle accident.

      Gardner was also a gifted poet and a critic who published several books on Old and Middle English poetry. He expressed his views about writing in On Moral Fiction (1978), in which he deplored the tendency of many modern writers toward pessimism, and in On Becoming a Novelist (1983) and The Art of Fiction (1984), both of which were published posthumously.
