One Two Three Four. Beatles in the rhythm of time. Brown K.

For the first time in Russian-the Laureate of the most important British Prize in the Grind-Fix genre (Baillie Gifford Prize for non-Fiction). As the chairman of the jury of Marta Kirni said, "Brown managed to re -extode the biography genre itself." The author of 18 books and a long -term host of a parody column in Private Eye magazine, Brown “skillfully intertwined details from many sources: diary entries, letters of fans, deciphering interviews, ratings and charts”, creating a unique portrait of the world of “magnificent four” to a half -century anniversary of its decay. “It’s not easy to imagine that someone can say something new about the“ Beatles ”, given how much it has already been written about them, and yet this is a very original book. This is a cheerful book, but also very deep, making you think about the very nature of glory. ” According to Brown, he sought to “convey the excitement and carelessness of the Beatles era and the speed with which John, Paul, George and Ringo changed, both for the better and the worst. I wanted to show what influence they had literally on everyone, from Her Majesty Queen to Charlie Manson. And I decided that a scattering of short chapters is best suited for this, of which, like from prism, a kaleidoscope will form. ”
