Short description
Alchemists were pioneers in the fields of chemistry, biology, and metallurgy. Montegrappa is an alchemist in the art of writing instrument manufacturing. Inspired by the novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, the Italian manufactory Montegrappa created a fountain pen: “Alchemist”. 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: “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.
Alchemist represents the four elements: air, fire, earth, and water. Only 125 pieces of each type of fountain pen represent each element. This true work of art is a delight for the soul and the eye. The design of the pen embodies the spiritual essence of the novel. This pen makes an extraordinary impression, and the craftsmanship and precision with which the details of this pen have been recreated place it, in our opinion, among the most beautiful pens of the past 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" watching over the Earth.
In 1986, Brazilian author 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 novel "The Alchemist," which became a worldwide bestseller. The Alchemist edition includes a total of 1987 fountain pens and ballpoint pens to commemorate the first edition of the novel.
71 pieces of the Solid Gold edition (38 fountain pens and 33 ballpoint pens) — representing 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) — representing the number of copies of the first edition.
1000 pieces of the Sterling Silver/Enamel edition symbolizing the four elements — earth, water, air, and fire (125 fountain pens and 125 ballpoint pens each).
16 pieces of the Gold/Diamond edition.
A seemingly simple story about a shepherd seeking happiness takes the form of a travel adventure. The Alchemist pen will be a milestone in the history of writing instruments. Montegrappa has created a pen that is extraordinarily beautiful and highly expressive in its structure.
