Montblanc ballpoint pen Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby Special Edition 130659

Some novels make literary history and, at the same time, become the symbol of an entire era. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a jewel of modern American literature. Published in 1925, the novel captures a captivating snapshot of the Jazz Age and the Roaring '20s, a time of unprecedented opulence and self-indulgence. Vibrant New York, the sumptuous homes of Long Island, and glittering high-society parties form 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, whose glittering Art Deco skyscrapers silhouetted against the blue evening sky, inspired the design of the Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby Special Edition. Created in homage to one of the first writing instruments of the Art Deco era, the barrel's surface, crafted using a special technique, recalls the tall skyscraper facades of the booming city, illuminated at night. Unadorned, yet with a green light that shines like the pier at Daisy's house in The Great Gatsby, the fluorescent Montblanc emblem at the top of the cap captures and stores light during the day, then glows in the dark. The apparent power of money is represented in this edition by a platinum-coated clip in the shape of a money clip. The rounded opening is decorated with Jay Gatsby's initials in a gold-coated rhomboid monogram in the Art Deco style. The myth of the American dream is evoked by the cone with refined rings surrounding the cap ring, in the colors of the American flag.
