Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson LE Rollerball 129418

The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this imaginative storyteller. Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850. He had two great desires: for freedom and for immersing himself in other worlds. He composed essays and travel accounts as well as his legendary adventure stories populated with striking characters whose names continue to send a shiver down the spines of readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Jekyll and Hyde. 

• The novel ‘Treasure Island’ 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 X, like the one marking the location of the treasure on a map. 
• Vertical lines on the cap bring to mind the planks of the schooner Hispaniola and a traditional sea chest adorns 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 ship’s rigging would be secured. 
• The cap top is crowned by the Montblanc emblem emblazoned with the pirate’s symbol, a skull and crossbones, elevated at its center. 
• The cap ring is adorned with an engraving of Stevenson’s signature alongside the publication date of his first work ‘The Pentland Rising’, 1886. 
• The dates 1850-1894 are engraved on the cap to commemorate Robert Louis Stevenson’s life.
