Gareth Thomas Knihy

Ilustrovaná biografie - 200 původních a dosud nepublikovaných fotografií.

Tato kniha zachycuje prostřednictvím spousty jedinečných fotografií z archivu deníku Daily Mail a vysvětlujících popisek fascinující životní příběh komplexní a záhadné osobnosti, kterou byl John Lennon. Jeho život byl sice tragicky krátký, ale přesto pozoruhodně naplněný. Do okamžiku než zemřel, dosáhl nebývalé proslulosti, nejprve jako člen kapely Beatles, později jako úspěšný sólový umělec. Po banálních začátcích se skupinou, která vystupovala na lokálních koncertech, založil kapelu vlastní. Beatles se stali jednou z nejvlivnějších a nejvýznamnějších popových skupin všech dob.Koncem 60. let se John stále více zaměřoval na projekty nesouvisející s Beatles, například na psaní a produkci experimentální hudby, umění a filmu, a založil tzv. superskupinu Plastic Ono Band. Po narození syna oznámil, že končí s hudebními aktivitami, aby se mohl věnovat rodině. O pět let později se chtěl vrátit k nahrávání, ale než to stihl uskutečnit, byl před svým domem zavražděn.

Unikátní rozsáhlá obrazová publikace o nejslavnější světové hudební skupině. Kaleidoskop článků a novinových výstřižků, jež mapují dráhu Beatles od prvopočátku až prakticky do dnešních dnů, kdy zbyli již jen dva ze slavných členů.
