Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, Robert Louis Stevenson longed for two things: freedom and the excitement of diving into another world. He wrote essays and travel stories, as well as his legendary adventure stories populated by extraordinary characters whose names sent shivers down the spines of readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this highly creative storyteller. Many of the decorative details of this edition are inspired by the novel "Treasure Island". The overall shape of the writing instrument, combined with the rings on the cone, recreates the effect of a historical extendable telescope. The barrel in black precious resin is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger "X" similar to the one used to mark the location of treasure on a map. The cap of the Writers Edition is adorned with vertical lines reminiscent of the planks of the schooner "Hispaniola" and a traditional treasure chest. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines converge to create a compass rose, while the clip reproduces the shape of a cleat, to which the ship's shrouds are attached. The top of the cap is crowned by the Montblanc emblem, decorated with the pirate symbol - a skull and crossbones - elevated in the centre. The cap ring is adorned with an engraving of Stevenson's signature, and the publication date of his first work, "The Pentland Rising", in 1866. The years of birth and death of Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) are engraved on the cap.
