AND IN THE END: THE LAST DAYS OF THE BEATLES
Book ID/图书代码: 01834019C00009
English Summary/英文概要: This is the story of the last acrimonious days of the Beatles, a final chapter reconstructing for the first time the seismic events of 1969, the year that saw the band reach new highs of musical creativity and new lows of internal strife. Two years after Flower Power and the hippie idealism of the Summer of Love, the Sixties dream had perished on the vine. By 1969, violence and vindictiveness had replaced the Beatles’ own mantra of peace and love, and Vietnam and the Cold War had supplanted hope and optimism. And just as the decade foundered on the altar of a cold, harsh reality, so too did the Beatles.
In the midst of this rancour, however, emerged the disharmony of Let It Be and the ragged genius of Abbey Road, their incredible farewell love letter to the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是披头士乐队最后一段光辉岁月的故事,讲述了第一次1969年令人震惊的事件重建后的尾声部分,那一年,乐队的音乐创造达到了新的高峰,内部的不团结也达到了新的冰点。“花的力量和爱的夏天”嬉皮士理想主义两年后,60年代的梦想破灭了。到1969年,暴力和报复取代了披头士乐队和平与爱的口头禅,越南和冷战取代了希望和乐观。就在这个时代在冰冷严酷的现实祭坛上沉没之际,披头士乐队也一样即将沉没。
然而在这人与人都充满怨恨的时刻,却出现了《顺其自然》与堪比神作的《修道院之路》,好似是这些音乐天才向这个世界发出的告别情书。(YYW)
