To celebrate the power of imagination and the importance of transmitting ideas and values to the ones we love, Montblanc is releasing a special edition Meisterst\u00fcck inspired by the much-loved literary character of Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry\u2019s Le Petit Prince.<\/p>\n
One of the world\u2019s most translated books with editions in more than 250 languages and dialects, the allegorical story about the chance encounter between a pilot and a little prince from a distant planet explores the universal themes of imagination, open-mindedness and the value of human relationships. With design elements based on Saint-Exup\u00e9ry\u2019s sensitive hand-drawn illustrations, the Meisterst\u00fcck Le Petit Prince captures the book\u2019s simple message that transmitting one\u2019s dreams and values to others is what makes one\u2019s life meaningful. Launching in April 2018, the first series of Meisterst\u00fcck Le Petit Prince edition features the inspiring and tender characters of the young prince and the fox who enlightens him about the importance of close bonds and human relationships, revealing the core wisdom learned from his own life\u2019s experiences. Subsequent editions will highlight other characters from Le Petit Prince and the powerful messages they carry including the aviator and the planet.<\/p>\n
The story of the little prince beautifully illustrates the power of the art of writing. The words and drawings of Saint-Exup\u00e9ry have touched hearts and minds around the world and across generations. In a first for Montblanc, the cap and barrel of the Meisterst\u00fcck Le Petit Prince Special Edition are made of night-blue precious resin evoking the deep blue sky of the universe around the prince. The milled cap is decorated with a fox face pattern, a reference to the character that instructs the young boy about the bonds of human relationships, with platinum-coated fittings contrasting with the deep blue of the writing instrument. Before travelling back to his asteroid, the little prince tells the pilot he will be able to hear his laugh any time simply by looking at the stars and remembering. As a reminder of the laughter in the stars, a golden star adorns the clip of this edition. The delicate character of Le Petit Prince is immortalised along with his friend the fox, engraved on the handcrafted 14K rhodium-plated nib. A sentence from the original novel has been laser engraved into the crown of the writing instrument available as a Fountain Pen, Roller Ball and Ballpoint Pen: \u201cCr\u00e9er des liens? … Tu seras pour moi unique au monde\u201d (\u201cTo establish ties? … To me, you will be unique in all the world.\u201d)<\/p>\n
