Here’s a breakdown of each screen adaptation of James Bond’s Casino Royale, including how each version differs, why some took so long to make, and how successful they were upon release. Before Daniel Craig’s critically acclaimed adaptation, two versions of Casino Royale had already been made, albeit outside of the main film series. No, with Casino Royale finally making its way to the screen 44 years later. The first film adaptation of James Bond in the franchise was 1962’s Dr. While the official James Bond film series has adapted nearly all of Fleming’s stories since 1962, the franchise’s timeline differs drastically from the chronology set up by the original author.

Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel followed M16 British spy James Bond gambling at a fictional French casino after being assigned by M to make Le Chiffre, a French union treasurer and Russian secret service agent, go bankrupt with the help of agents Vesper Lynd and René Mathis. Considering Casino Royale is the very first James Bond work by Fleming, it makes sense that the agent’s official debut has been adapted more times than any of his other stories into movies.

This YA fantasy novel is told from the first person perspective of Nor, who dreams of one day seeing more of the world than her ocean village. The opening lines quoted above made me curious about the two sisters mentioned, and although I never found it to be an especially immersive book, it was easy to focus on despite my difficulty concentrating (even if I did end up thinking the first part was better than the second and didn’t find it all that memorable overall). I read Crown of Coral and Pearl, Mara Rutherford’s first novel, around the time I first started struggling to get into any books a few months ago because, you know, 2020. In its natural form, it can hardly be considered beautiful at all. But whereas a pearl is prized for its luster, its shape, its lack of imperfections, coral is different. Both precious to our people, both beautiful enough to adorn the necks of queens. Sometimes I wonder if it was our names that determined our fates, or the other way around.

He had been born with a "curse" - a strong sense of curiosity, an eagerness to learn and question everything, and an unwillingness to subordinate himself to society.įor more information on Rand's ideas, please see Objectivism. The book is the secret journal of Equality 7-2521, in which he recounts his youth and tells of his emancipation from Ayn Rand's dystopia. Society is ruled by several oligarchical Councils that outlaw all new ideas and inventions as a result, science and the arts have stagnated. Individualism and freedom have been stamped out to the point where speaking the words "I, me, my, mine", or "ego" is a crime punishable by death. In the future, humanity has fallen into a dark age brought on by the evils of collectivism. It touches on her usual Objectivist themes, but it has a more fantastic, sci-fi setting, and it's pretty much the concentrated embodiment of The Evils of Free Will. Anthem is a novella by Ayn Rand ( in contrast with Atlas Shrugged). She creates evocative, potent tableaux and confronts painful histories, institutional power, and social discriminations.” Her body of work has “anticipated salient issues of our time – the struggle for racial equality and human rights – with unflinching visual and ethical force,” the Hasselblad Foundation said in its citation for Weems, adding that “Her artistic practice is inherently activist, poignant, and lyrical. She’s both the protagonist and perpetual observer, “a guide into circumstances seldom seen,” according to Weems. In each elegant black-and-white photo, Weems is the constant as the tableaux is rearranged with a cast of lovers, friends, and family who act upon each other. The Kitchen Table Series (1990), considered a seminal body of contemporary photography, stars Weems herself and is set at a kitchen table. She has a prolific oeuvre that spans multimedia installation, video, and performance, but she’s most celebrated for her photography, which has a sparse composition that belie complex ruminations on familial and romantic entanglements. Over nearly four decades, Weems has explored the subjectivity of personal and global history through a racial and feminist lens.

The bunny hero’s name is Jack the fellow in the box is called Zack. Spiegelman’s Jack and the Box (Toon Books, October 7) explores the idea of a child overcoming fear through his repeated experiences with a Jack-in-the-Box, a gift from his parents. Now both Lynch and Spiegelman have written titles for Toon Books, a series of beautifully produced paper-over-board comic books aimed at beginning readers and edited by Françoise Mouly (see Shelf Awareness, March 5, 2008). He and his friend Jay Lynch started a magazine called Blasé as teenagers and both worked at Topps writing copy for Wacky Packs, as Spiegelman writes in his introduction to Wacky Packages (Abrams, June 2008). Yet, he argues, “It’s all on a weird continuum.” “I know I’m going to be portrayed as bipolar for having Jack and the Box and Breakdowns come out at the same moment,” Spiegelman says.
