MAD(ison Avenue) MEN


I recommend you “Mad men”. This is a fiction series set in the world of business advertising in the New York of the sixties. 
In the opening chapter we can read in subtitles: (MAD MEN) “A term coined in the late 1950’s to describe the advertising executives of Madison Avenue. They coined it”. 
The plot revolves around the advertising agency Sterling & Cooper (later Sterling, Cooper, Draper & Pryce) located on Madison Avenue and head of campaigns as important as those of the Lucky Strike cigarettes or Richard Nixon Presidential. The main character is Don (ald) Drapper, creative enormously talented but tormented personality who hides a troubled past 
Don Drapper doesn’t like to talk about himself. In chapter three we can watch a scene that tells about his character. It’s night and Don and his wife are in a restaurant with his boss and the boss’s wife. The man is talking about upbringing in childhood by a nanny and he asked Don about his childhood. Don replies: “It’s not that interesting a story. Just think of me as Moses. I was a baby in a basket”. Then Don’s wife exclaims: “To Moses and Don (ald) Draper. A couple of the princes”.
