With its Writers Edition, Montblanc celebrates the great figures who have made their mark on world literature, moving audiences with the power and artistry of their words. The latest limited edition pays tribute to the talent and legacy of Joseph Rudyard Kipling (1865 -1936), beloved author of The Jungle Book.

One of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kipling had a lasting impact on the world of literature as a major innovator in the art of the short story. Born in India, he was very connected to the country and its culture, and became an enthusiastic promoter of orientalism.

The first English language writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 42, he remains one of the award’s youngest recipients to this day. Crafted in Montblanc Ateliers, the design of the limited edition writing instruments is inspired by The Jungle Book and if, a much-admired poem written in the form of paternal advice to a son.

One of the author’s most famous works, The Jungle Book is a collection of stories about human archetypes in animal form. The colorful characters in his fables are represented throughout the design of the edition.

With his characters and stories, Rudyard Kipling has captured the hearts and minds of generations of readers. Through the artistry and skill of Montblanc artisans, his stories, like the ones of many great literary figures, live on in a new collection of limited edition writing instruments.

Montblanc is available at Rustans Makati, Rustans Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, City of Dreams and Resorts World Manila.
