OSS 117

Book • 1954
The OSS 117 series, written by Jean Bruce, follows the adventures of Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, a suave and sophisticated secret agent working for various intelligence agencies.

The series, which began in 1949 with the novel 'Tu parles d'une ingénue (ici OSS 117)', predates Ian Fleming's James Bond by four years.

Bruce wrote 91 novels in the series before his death in 1963.

The character has been featured in numerous film adaptations, including a successful Eurospy film series in the 1960s and more recent spoofs starring Jean Dujardin.
