MONTBLANC Leo Tolstoy Writers Limited Edition 1604/1868 Fountain Pen M Sealed
MONTBLANC Leo Tolstoy Writers Limited Edition 1604/1868 Fountain Pen. Limited Edition: 1604/1868 18k 750 Medium (M) Nib Year: 2015. Only in his soul does man find the power to fulfil his real purpose in the world. Limited Edition 1868: With a limitation number based on the year of the first Edition of War and Peace, his most famous book, the design of the Limited Edition 1868 is reminiscent of both the simple life Tolstoy favored particularly towards the end of his life, and his aristocratic origins as a count. The gold plated barrel with its hammered optic to celebrate the work he did by hand on his land is elegantly paired with a blue lacquered cap. The guilloche underneath the cap evokes the aristocracy in Imperial Russia, a reoccurring theme in his novels including Anna Karenina and War and Peace. The wooden cone tells the story of his beloved estate, Yasnaya Polyana, home to many century-old trees among which Tolstoy chose to be buried.
A malachite adorns the end of the cone as a reference to the legend of the green stick. When Leo was a small boy, his brother Nikolai told him that he possessed a secret that could make all men happy and end war and suffering. The secret was said to be written on a green stick and buried in the grounds of Yasnaya Polyana. This story stayed with Tolstoy throughout his life, and in his old age he requested that his body be buried in a simple wooden coffin at the presumed site of the little green stick. The signature that adorns the section and his portrait embossed in the rhodium-plated 750 solid gold nib reinforce his enduring legacy, and his impact on human civilization through his monumental works.
