Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson ardently wanted two things: freedom and entertainment to dive into another world. He wrote essays and tales of travel, as well as his legendary adventure stories populated by extraordinary characters, whose names made readers from all over the world come: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this extremely creative narrator. Many decorative details of this edition are inspired by the novel "The treasure island". The overall form of the writing tool, combined with the rings on the cone, recreates the effect of a historic extendable telescope. The precious black resin body is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger "X" similar to the one that is used to mark the position of a treasure on a map. The hood of the Writers Edition is adorned with vertical lines that recall the tables of the golet "Hispaniola" and a traditional chest. Behind the platinum finish clip, the lines converge to create a rose of the winds, while the clip reproduces the shape of a galloccia, to which the ship's sates are fixed. The upper part of the hood is crowned by the Montblanc emblem, decorated with the pirate symbol - a skull with crossed bones - raised to the center. The hood ring is adorned with the engraving of Stevenson's signature, and from the date of publication of his first work, "The Pentland Rising", in 1886 . The years of birth and death of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) are engraved on the hood. In homage to Robert Louis Stevenson's passion for navigation and his choice to move to the South seas, the massive gold nib au 750 Rodio finish, handmade, bears the engraving of a delicate motif and name that The Samoans gave the great writer and globetrotter: "Tusitala".
