Gold Eloquent Ballpoint Pen GOLD Alchemist

Joy for the soul and eye, is a work of art created by the Italian manufacturer Montegrappa. Inspired by the novel of Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, it designed the Alchemist fountain pen. The collection was officially launched in Bassano del Grappa on Saint Joseph's Day, March 19, 2012. When the pen was first presented to the author, Paulo remarked in his review: “I am impressed by the immense power of this pen.” The pen is heavy, not only in weight but also in the message and symbols that are incorporated throughout the entire pen.

This true work of art, the Alchemist, represents the four elements: air, fire, earth, and water. Only 125 pieces of fountain pens represent each of the elements. The design of the pen embodies the spiritual essence of the novel. It makes a remarkable impression, and the craftsmanship and precision in recreating the details of this pen place it, in our opinion, among the most beautiful pens of the last few years! The body is a symbolic representation of the universe concept from "The Alchemist," where the central ring with the sun separates the sky from the lower parts. The wheels represent the seven alchemical processes, and the names of the seven cosmic elements are engraved on the casing. On the pyramid, there is a fragment of each metal. The tip of the pen is adorned with "Divine Eye" gazing at the earth.

In 1986, Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho undertook a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. This event inspired him to write the novel "The Pilgrimage." The following year, he wrote and published "The Alchemist," which became a worldwide bestseller. An apparently simple story about a shepherd seeking happiness, it takes the form of a travel adventure.

The Alchemist edition includes a total of 1987 pieces of fountain and ballpoint pens to commemorate the year of the novel's first publication.
71 pieces of the Solid Gold edition (38 fountain pens and 33 ballpoint pens) — the number of languages into which the novel has been translated.
900 pieces of the Sterling Silver/Resin edition (450 fountain pens and 450 ballpoint pens) — the number of first edition copies.
1000 pieces of the Sterling Silver/Enamel edition representing the four elements — earth, water, air, and fire (125 of each type of fountain and ballpoint pen). 16 pieces of the Gold/Diamond edition.
"I have learned the immense power of the written word. I could reach the thoughts and hearts of millions of people. Alchemists were pioneers in chemistry, biology, and metallurgy. Montegrappa is an alchemist in the field of writing instruments. The Alchemist pen will be a milestone in the history of these instruments" — Paulo Coelho. Montegrappa has created a pen that is extraordinarily beautiful and highly expressive in its structure.
