John Lennon, the founder of the legendary band The Beatles, is one of the most prominent figures of the 20th century. Through his work, he preached the ideas of equality and brotherhood of man, peace, and freedom. Musician, singer, poet, composer, artist, public figure – during his lifetime he was the idol of people in different parts of the globe. And after his death, he turned into a legend, almost a mythical figure. This book tells about the life and fate of John Lennon and the formation of the "great four". Its author is the famous radio host Artur Makariev, who became one of the first Russian Beatlemans more than forty years ago. Four decades of studying Western music and, above all, the Beatles, the life and work of their legendary creator, have formed a lively and fascinating story.
