Doch gleichzeitig herrscht die Angst vor der Apokalypse, vor dem Atomtod und der Umweltzerstörung; die Menschen sehnen sich nach Utopien und Zukunft, nach neuer Gemeinschaft und Wärme.

John and Paul were more than friends, collaborators or rivals in the sense we normally understand those terms. They were both exceptionally intense young men who had the fabric of their world ruptured at a young age. There have been millions of words written about The Beatles, but this is the first book to focus on what lay at the heart of this phenomenon: the alchemy of two young men. Ian Leslie explores this volatile, madly creative quasi-marriage and misunderstood story. The result is a wildly enjoyable biography, told through the songs, which will make us see and hear John and Paul afresh.

Da gerät ihr Vater in die Gefangenschaft eines abscheulichen Biests. Mit einem Trick gelingt es Belle, ihren Vater zu befreien, und fortan muss sie an seiner Stelle zusammen mit dem Biest im verwunschenen Schloss leben. Belle erkennt, dass nicht nur das Schloss, sondern auch all seine Bewohner verzaubert wurden, und wundert sich, dass die freundlichen lebendigen Haushaltsgegenstände dem schrecklichen Biest die Treue halten.
