Great Gatsby limited edition rollerball pen

Some novels enter the history of literature and, at the same time, come to symbolise an entire era. "The Great Gatsby" by F.

Scott Fitzgerald is one of those jewels of modern American literature. Published in 1925, the novel paints a fascinating portrait of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties, a time of unprecedented wealth and excess. The bustling city of New York, the sumptuous mansions of Long Island and the lavish high-society parties provide the backdrop to the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who will stop at nothing to win back the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan.

The dazzling New York of Gatsby's era, where Art Deco skyscrapers shimmering in the evening blue sky inspired the design of the Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby special edition. Created as a tribute to one of the first Montblanc writing instruments of the Art Deco era, the surface of the barrel, shaped using a special technique, seems to reflect the illuminated facades of the skyscrapers of the bustling city at night. Far from being a fictional device, the fluorescent Montblanc emblem at the top of the cap truly glows like the green light on the dock of Daisy's house in "The Great Gatsby": it absorbs and stores light during the day to glow in the dark.

The apparent power of money is symbolised in this edition by the platinum-plated clip in the shape of a money clip. Its rounded opening shines with Jay Gatsby's initials, represented by a gold-plated rhomboid Art Deco monogram. The myth of the American dream and the design of the often elegant flasks of the Art Deco period are evoked by the cone that imitates the engraved screw cap of a flask and the fine rings in the colours of the American flag that surround it.
