Description: MONTBLANC 2000 Friedrich Schiller Writers (WE) Limited Edition Fountain Pen Ref. 28662Ident. 03556Limited Edition: 05593/1800018k – 750 Fine (F) NibYear: 2000Made in Germany Dedicated to a master playwright and supporter of freedom. The legacy of an idealistic social critic. Friedrich Schiller the great German playwright, is closely associated with the theme of freedom, which dominated the German drama of his time. Schiller's preoccupation with the rebellion of the individual against social repression was shaped by his experiences during his training at a military academy, and was always a central theme in his work. A gifted poet, Schiller's distinctive sense of theatre gave rise to impressive dramas which captured the spirit of a century of revolution and radical social change in a way that few others have achieved before or since. Plays like "The Robbers", "Mary Stuart", "Wallenstein" and "William Tell" captivate theatre-goers today just as much as they did in Schiller's own lifetime, when they made him a prominent supporter of the freedom to which his age aspired. What could be more appropriate for this Limited Edition than to use amber, a substance prized by Schiller and his contemporaries as a symbol of everything that was new, and of the striving for social freedom. This substance, which often contains prehistoric flora and fauna, was a source of fascination and inspiration to people in their quest to find new answers to old questions.Superlative craftsmanship has given rise to exclusive writing instruments with a unique aesthetic appeal, whose simple elegance recalls the classical Weimar period. Tribute to the German poet, philosopher, playwright and Weimar Classicist. The design incorporates decorative motifs inspired by Schiller's milieu. Black resin body, granulated amber cap, gold-plated clip and trim. Fine (F) 18K gold nib engraved with archery motif.
