Gold Eloquent Ballpoint Pen GOLD Alchemist

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

This true work of art, the Alchemist, represents the four elements: air, fire, earth, and water. Only 125 fountain pens represent each of the elements. The pen's design absorbed the spiritual nature of the novel. This pen makes an extraordinary impression, and the excellence of craftsmanship and precision with which the details of this pen are replicated places it, in our opinion, at the top of 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 circles 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 the "Divine Eye" looking down on the earth.

In 1986, Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho made 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 seemingly simple story of a shepherd seeking happiness takes the form of a travel adventure.

The Alchemist edition totals 1987 pieces of fountain pens and rollerball pens to commemorate the year of the novel's first publication. 71 pieces of the Solid Gold edition (38 fountain pens and 33 rollerball 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 rollerball pens) - 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 pieces each of fountain pens and rollerball pens). 16 pieces of the Gold/Diamond edition.
"I have realized the immense power of the written word. I could reach the minds and hearts of millions of people. Alchemists were pioneers in the fields of 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 an incredibly beautiful pen, very expressive in its structure.
