Scott Fitzgerald is one of these jewels of modern American literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in 1925, the novel paints a fascinating picture of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties, a time of unprecedented wealth and pleasure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vibrant city of New York, the opulent mansions of Long Island and the dazzling high-society parties form the backdrop to the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who will stop at nothing to win back the affection of his lost youthful love, Daisy Buchanan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dazzling New York of Gatsby's era, where Art Deco skyscrapers sparkled in the evening blue sky, inspired the design of the Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby Special Edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreated as a nod to a Montblanc writing instrument from the Art Deco era, the surface of the barrel, crafted using a special technique, seems to reflect the tall, brilliantly lit façades of the city that never sleeps, then in full prosperity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar from being a fictional device, the fluorescent Montblanc emblem really does glow, like the green light at the end of the pier at Daisy's house in The Great Gatsby.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocated in the top of the cap, it absorbs and stores light during the day to become phosphorescent in the dark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe apparent power of money is symbolized in this edition by the platinum-plated metal clip in the shape of a money clip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts rounded opening is adorned with Jay Gatsby's initials in a gold-toned metal Art Deco monogram in the shape of a parallelogram.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 colors of the American flag that encircle it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essence of the American dream fulfilled is revealed when the cap of the edition is removed, unveiling the hand-crafted rhodium-plated Au 585\/1000 (14-carat) gold nib.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is decorated with an image of Jay Gatsby's sumptuous automobile, which F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiastically describes thus: \"It was painted a rich cream color, bright with nickel, [...] and terraced with a labyrinth of windshields that mirrored a dozen suns.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MONTBLANC","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":57530375274822,"sku":"MO1126-4062037156477","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4563\/1041\/files\/default__dv8zGZr72TTCzfulnJObMkqjgINIFP49.jpg?v=1793893396","url":"https:\/\/cwf-shop.guestplateform.com\/en\/products\/mo1126-mb130657","provider":"Guest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
