Some novels go down in literary history as well as becoming symbols of an entire era. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is one such gem of modern American literature. Published in 1925, the novel paints a fascinating picture of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties – a time of unprecedented wealth and indulgence. The vibrant New York, the opulent mansions Long Island and the dazzling parties of high society are the backdrop to the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who will stop at nothing to win back the affections of the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan. The dazzling New York of the Gatsby era, where Art Deco skyscrapers shimmer against the blue evening sky, inspired the design of the special edition Great Tribute to the Characters of The Great Gatsby. Created as a tribute to the early Montblanc writing instrument from Art Deco era. The barrel surface, created using a special technique, seems to reflect the brightly lit facades of the high-rise buildings of a thriving city at night. The fluorescent Montblanc emblem at the top of the cap, which is not a fictional device but actually shines like the green light on the pier at Daisy's house in the film The Great Gatsby, captures and stores light during the day, so it glows in the dark. The apparent power of money is symbolized in the edition by the platinum-plated clasp, which takes the form of a money clip. Its rounded opening is adorned with Jay Gatsby's initials in the form of a diamond monogram with a gold Art Deco finish. The myth of the American dream and the design of the often stylish hip bottles of the Art Deco period are referenced by the cone, which imitates the engraved screw cap of the bottle and the delicate rings in the colors of the American flag that surround it. The essence of the American dream is revealed when you remove the edition cap and look at the handmade solid gold tip of Au 585 with a rhodium finish. This is decorated with a depiction of Jay Gatsby's luxurious car, which F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiastically described as "a rich cream color, gleaming with nickel... and terraced with a labyrinth of wind shields in which a dozen suns were reflected."
