Quantum of Solace
The Complete James Bond Short Stories
Book • 0
In 'Quantum of Solace', James Bond dines with a governor in Bermuda who recounts the tragic story of a civil servant whose marriage collapses due to his wife's infidelity.
The tale illustrates how the 'quantum of solace'—the minimum amount of comfort and humanity one person offers another—drops to zero, leading to emotional devastation and cold revenge.
Fleming wrote the story in the style of W. Somerset Maugham, drawing from a real-life anecdote, and it was first published in 1959 before appearing in the 1960 short story collection For Your Eyes Only.
