Montblanc Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby Special Edition Roller

Some novels enter literary history while simultaneously symbolizing 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 City, the opulent mansions of 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 regain the affections of his 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 Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby special edition. The barrel surface, created as a nod to an early Art Deco writing instrument from Montblanc , seems to reflect the city’s brightly lit high-rise facades at night. No fictitious device, but the fluorescent Montblanc emblem at the top of the cap, which actually glows like the green light on the dock at Daisy's house in "The Great Gatsby," captures and stores light during the day, so it glows in the dark. The apparent power of money in the edition is symbolized by the platinum-plated clasp, which takes the form of a money clip. Its rounded opening is dazzled by Jay Gatsby's initials as a diamond-shaped gold-plated Art Deco monogram. The myth of the American dream and the design of the often stylish flasks of 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.
