Philip Norman Knihy

Biografia Beatles od Philipa Normana je najdôležitejšou knihou o najvplyvnejšej kapele v dejinách hudby a zároveň pútavým príbehom o životoch jej členov a dobe, v ktorej tvorili. Táto aktualizovaná publikácia mapuje cestu štyroch neupravených liverpoolskych mladíkov od divokých a často komických začiatkov cez ohromujúci vrchol zhmotnený vo fenoméne beatlemánie až po náhly rozpad kapely. Autor opisuje aj boj jej členov s hudobným škatuľkovaním a okolnosti úmrtia Johna Lennona a Georgea Harrisona. Zábavná, duchaplná a dojímavá kniha Shout! Beatles a ich skutočný príbeh sa už krátko po vydaní stala bestsellerom a predalo sa z nej viac než milión výtlačkov. Zaradila sa medzi povinné čítanie nielen pre fanúšikov a fanúšičky Beatles, ale aj pre každého, kto sa zaujíma o históriu popmusic.
