The Fifth Beatle. The Brian Epstein Story. Graphic Novel
9.99 €
A unique graphic novel about the man who discovered the legendary band "The Beatles", based on his personal diaries.
Brian Epstein, the "fifth Beatle" and the band's manager, thanks to whom the world learned about the Liverpool Four, is still an unknown hero in the incredible story of the band's conquest of musical Olympus. The New York Times bestseller reveals the secrets of this enigmatic genius for the first time in a fascinating graphic novel based on Epstein's own autobiography. "The Beatles were the band that split world culture into 'before' and 'after,' and the names of John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison have long gone down in history. But one name has been overshadowed by the incredible success of the Liverpool Four: the man who got the Beatles their first record label contract, got them on TV, broke through to the top of the charts and toured the world. Brian Epstein, who had no experience in the music business, happened to attend the concert of the aspiring musicians in a small semi-basement club in Liverpool. But it was this momentous accident that truly began the story of The Beatles' legendary success. Brian, who for many years kept his hand on the pulse of the band, faded far before its glory - at the age of 32, almost immediately after the cessation of touring in 1967. Three years later, in an interview with Rolling Stone, John Lennon called that moment "the beginning of the end." Brian Epstein was never knighted by the British Empire, and his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame didn't take place until 2014, half a century after his death. The graphic novel "The Fifth Beatle" tells the story of the band's struggles and failures, their search for musical and external styles, their lineup changes and their path to fame under the careful guidance of Brian Epstein.
