まろまろ記

maromaro@as just a song, I like “L’Internationale” (The Internationale) :-).

“Animal Farm” written by George Orwell Penguin Books 2000 (orignal first published 1945).

There was a farm which was possessed by masters of human being.
One day, animals on the farm did revolt against human masters.
Animals got the farm by themselves and found “Animal Farm” of the animals, by the animals, for the animals.
“Animal Farm” had equal and ideal principle and it seemed like a utopia nation for animals.
Animals, however, started power struggles and changing principle by themselves…

This book is one of the most famous novels of George Orwell.
The story said how revolution`s ideal is disrupted by revoluters themselves.

It is mainly modeled after the Rossian Revolution.
But history proves any revolution proceed through as like “Animal Farm”.
I have felt melancholy but could not deny tha sad story when I have finished reading :’-( .

“GUCCI-Business in Fashion-” written by PAOLA TRIMARCO Penguin Readers 2001.
This book is a story of “GUCCI”, one of the most famous brand companies.

Although I have never owned a GUCCI product, the cool cover design
of this book caught my eye at the book store, and I was tempted to buy it.
This (temptation to buy at first sight) is called “JAKEGAI” in Japanese :-P.

The book was about how the GUCCI brand started off, and how it is managed today.
I was especially interested in the start for the GUCCI as a bland .

GUCCI’s first store was very small and had no original logo.
It took a long while for the GUCCI GG logo from a shape of a stirrup.
I was astonished by the amount of time it takes to establish a brand.

Reading this book gave me a fresh view of my own brand “MAROMARO”.
It’s a tiny enterprise, but even GUCCI was so in the past;-).

“The Day of the Jackal” written by FREDERICK FORSYTH
Penguin Readers 1999(orignal first published 1971).

This is a very famous book.
I was interested in this book even before I’ve had a fetish about
catchy book titles.
Maybe I was so since I was a high school student.

The story was about a battle between two men.
One man, whose code-name, is Jackal was to assassinate the Frecnh
president, General de Gaulle.
The other one, the detective Lebel chased Jackal.

I liked this story because I was always interested in stories of
battles between these kinds of men,
such as chasing stories of a smart spy or criminal and a smart cop.
Also, the way the author writes was very thrilling.
One of thrilling pary was…
“As the two men looked towards each other unknowing across the Seine,
the Paris church clocks sounded midnight. It was now 22nd August.”…
The Day of the Jackal captured my mind and heart while reading.
