Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and is best known for his literary masterpieces - The Trial, The Judgement and The Metamorphosis. Kafka died at the young age of 40 and didn't receive true world acclaim until the mid 1940's and Kafkaesque is now a term that speaks solely of his writing style. The cap and barrel feature a stunning translucent red resin, which contrasts beautifully with the AG925 sterling silver trim.The 18k fine nib features a fine engraving of a cockroach, which is a further nod to "The Metamorphosis". This is an interesting pen as it features a captive converter - by that we mean an ink converter that's fitted permanently in place, so bottled ink is your weapon of choice. The pen is not a traditional piston filler, as the shape of the barrel didn't allow for this. The important details are as follows...
As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication - "izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens".
