En la intimidad de nuestros corazones, el inconformismo y el desasosiego van creciendo mas y mas; buscamos estimulos exteriores que no nos satisfacen; nos enganchamos a la rutina hasta morir aplastados por ella.

UPDATED TO INCLUDE PAUL McCARTNEY’S KNIGHTING AND THE DEATHS OF JOHN LENNON AND GEORGE HARRISONPhilip Norman’s biography of the Beatles is the definitive work on the world’s most influential band -- a beautifully written account of their lives, their music, and their times. Now brought completely up to date, this epic tale charts the rise of four scruffy Liverpool lads from their wild, often comical early days to the astonishing heights of Beatlemania, from the chaos of Apple and the collapse of hippy idealism to the band’s acrimonious split. It also describes their str
