Description
Robert Louis Stevenson, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, had two great desires: for freedom and for the distraction of immersing himself in another world. He composed essays and travel accounts as well as his legendary adventure stories peopled with strikingcharacters whose names send a shiver down the spines of readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Jekyll and Hyde.The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this imaginative storyteller.The novel ATreasure IslandA inspired many design details of the edition. The overall shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone combine to create an impression of a historic, extendable spyglass.The black precious resin barrel is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger AXA like the one marking the location of the treasure on a map. Vertical lines that bring to mind the planks of the schooner AHispaniolaA and a traditional sea chest adorn the cap of the Writers Edition. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines converge in a compass rose, while the clip imitates the shape of a belaying pin, to which the lines of a shipAs rigging would be secured.The cap top is crowned by the Montblanc emblem emblazoned with the pirateAs symbol, a skull and crossbones, elevated at its centre.The cap ring is adorned with an engraving of StevensonAs signature alongside the publication date of his first work AThe Pentland RisingA, 1886. The years of Robert Louis StevensonAs life, 1850-1894, are engraved on the cap.As a reference to Robert Louis StevensonAs passion for seafaring and his re-settlement in the South Seas, the handcrafted solid Au 750 gold rhodium-coated nib is engraved with fine waves and the title given by the Samoans to the great writer and world traveller, ATusitalaA.
