Some novels enter the history of literature and, at the same time, come to symbolize an entire era. "The Great Gatsby" by F.
Scott Fitzgerald is one of these 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 serve as the backdrop to the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who will stop at nothing to win back the affection of the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan.
The dazzling New York of Gatsby's era, where Art Deco skyscrapers sparkled against the blue evening sky, inspired the design of the Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby special edition. Designed 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 city's skyscrapers on a bustling night. Far from being a mere fictional device, the fluorescent Montblanc emblem at the top of the cap truly glows like the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in "The Great Gatsby": it absorbs and stores light during the day to glow in the dark.
The apparent power of money is symbolized in this edition by the platinum-plated clip, shaped like a money clip. Its rounded opening gleams with Jay Gatsby's initials, represented by a gold-plated rhomboid Art Deco monogram. The myth of the American dream is evoked by fine rings in the colors of the American flag that surround the cap ring.
