Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Limited Edition Rollerball MB131438

The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Limited Edition Rollerball MB131438 is a profound tribute to one of Europe’s greatest literary and intellectual figures. Goethe was a universal genius whose influence spanned literature, philosophy, science and statecraft. Created in collaboration with the Klassik Stiftung Weimar and the Goethe National Museum, this Writers Edition places special emphasis on writing as the driving force of Goethe’s life and legacy.

Every design element is rich in meaning. The marble-inspired lacquer of the cap and barrel draws inspiration from The Sorrows of Young Werther, the novel that brought Goethe international fame. The blue lacquer colour and pattern reflect the wallpaper of the Juno Room in Goethe’s house in Weimar. The globe-shaped cap symbolizes Goethe’s concept of “world literature”, while the leaf-shaped clip pays homage to his studies in plant morphology. This rollerball is not only a writing instrument, but a cultural object embodying literary history and universal creativity.
