Montblanc pix red ballpoint pen

Robert Louis Stevenson, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, had two great desires: freedom and distraction by immersing himself in another world. He wrote essays and travelogues, but also legendary adventure stories populated with remarkable characters whose names send shivers down the spines of readers all over 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 "Treasure Island" inspired many design details of the edition. The overall shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone together create the impression of a historical, extendable telescope.

The black barrel made of resin is adorned with engraved crosses, including a larger "X" like the one that marks the location of treasure on a map. Vertical lines reminiscent of the planks of the schooner "Hispaniola" and a traditional sea chest decorate the cap of the Writers Edition. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines converge into a compass rose, while the clip mimics the shape of a belaying pin, to which the lines of a ship's rigging would be attached. The cap is crowned with the Montblanc emblem featuring the symbol of the pirate, a skull and crossed bones, in the center. The ring of the cap is decorated with an engraving of Stevenson's signature and the publication date of his first work "The Pentland Rising," 1886. The years of life of Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850-1894, are engraved on the cap.
