Description
During Ernest Hemingway’s lifetime, his fame as an adventurer almost overshadowed his formidable reputation as a writer. These two sides of the Nobel laureate’s personality are deeply intertwined, forming the many layers of his relentlessly exciting, rich life.
Montegrappa’s Hemingway: The Adventurer embodies both: the concise power of his literary style and legendary adventurism. This writing instrument pays tribute to a key chapter in Hemingway’s life – his travels in Africa, which provided the foundations for modern ideals of safari adventure. The entire “muscular,” silver body of this limited edition rollerball pen is adorned with African iconography, alluding to the author’s famous autobiographical account of safari, The Green Hills of Africa (1935). To capture the mystique of his experience on the African continent, tribal patterns are blended with majestic motifs of wildlife onto the instrument’s micro-engraved segments.
