One Two Three Four."bitles" in the rhythm of time

For the first time in Russian-the laureate of the most important British Prize in the Genra of Non-Fix. As the chairman of the jury of Marta Kirni said, Brown managed to re -extinate 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, decryption of interviews, ratings and charts”, creating a unique portrait of the world of “magnificent four” for a half -century anniversary of its breakdown . “It’s not easy to imagine that someone can say something new about the“ Beatles ”, given how many things have 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 worse. 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. ”
