Limited edition Zhivago fountain pen

Paying tribute to one of the most beautiful love stories of the 20th century, Caran d’Ache adds a new chapter to this story through a limited edition collection of writing instruments filled with symbolism.

The limited collection "Zivago" reflects the power of the epic work, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1958.

The novel "Doctor Zhivago" depicts a double tragedy: a country torn apart by the October Revolution and the unrequited love of young Lara for the married doctor Yuri Zhivago.

This commemorative collection is dedicated to the ideals of the novel: freedom to love, freedom of the individual and the nation, but above all, freedom of expression and thought.

In Russia, this book was considered anti-revolutionary and banned. The author was forced by the Union of Soviet Writers to refuse the award.

To properly honor this masterpiece, the limited collection "Zivago" was coated with black Chinese lacquer. Delicate stars, engraved and then lacquered in white, represent snowflakes covering the vast Siberian landscape and the white heat of passion that ignited the hearts of Lara and Yuri.

On the body of the pen, you will find a meticulously engraved Boris Pasternak's signature.
As a final tribute, the nib is made of 18-karat gold.

It is not only a writing instrument but a symbol of culture representing the spirit of a free person. Words flow through the nib and come alive on paper, just as Boris Pasternak, who used a pencil, created one of the most beautiful novels of the past century.

The limited collection "Zivago" is available as a fountain pen and a rollerball pen, with each limited to 1958 pieces. The collection is presented in an elegant black box.

Inside the box, you will also find a collection of Yuri Zhivago's poems published by Feltrinelli, allowing the lucky owner to experience the magic of eternal love.
