Montblanc Marcel Proust Ballpoint Pen Limited Edition 28655, 1999 Writers Series, 02483

Marcel Proust, one of the most popular French authors and philosophers of his time, fascinated readers with his books and their brilliantly observed descriptions of people and nature, and, as a charismatic figure of the fine Paris Salons, he also delighted people with his rhetoric and wit. In what is probably his most important work, "Remembrance of Things Past" -- Prouse's new literary stylistic device, the inner monologue, was combined masterfully with his analytical descriptions, which, in their candor, often allow readers to see themselves in them. *** Please note that listings categorized as "New" condition must be unused and defect-free by Amazon policy, but many popular limited edition collectibles such as this one will have long had their factory seals broken for inspection, picture taking, etc. If the distinction is an important factor in your buying decision, please refer to the listing's seller notes or contact the selling merchant directly for confirmation.
