MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
Of all the many famous people that Montblanc have created pens to honor, who would you most like to interact with and how? For example, take a class from, exchange letters with, share a meal with, take a walk with, etc.?

A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

I'd like to meet Oscar Wilde, but the pen Mont Blanc tagged with his name is monstrously ugly.

Elizabeth 1, she and her father changed the world.
In reality, I cannot think of any of the POA LEs namesakes that I would not like to meet, can you imagine having dinner with Napoleon?
Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
Drinks with Hemingway should be interesting....

I'd probably opt for Kafka but not in person....TB is too contagious.

A Hemingway is my favourite MB pen, drinks with Hemingway, hell no.

If you want to have an adult conversation about values and politics I suggest you open a thread in the appropriate section of this forum. If you insist on sending me insulting private messages I can only feel sorry for you.All depends on your point of view, I wouldn't have a drink with Hemingway, you are welcome to your fantasy.Please lighten up!

Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
I can imagine there may be a couple things I could learn from Hemingway.
Any of those folks would be awesome to meet and chat with.
My heroes with namesake MB pens are Mark Twain and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I'd imagine a drink with Twain would be delightful and a drink with Dostoyevsky would be harrowing at best. I'd give a digit from each limb for either opportunity I think.
Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
I think I'd choose two G's - Gandhi and Garbo (either together or separately!). Both fascinating characters.
Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
Gandhi is obvious to me, but why Garbo (if I may ask)?

Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
I'd love to know about her early life, and about her friendship with Gunilla Bernadotte - they came from such very different backgrounds but had a clear bond that transcended this. I think perhaps the fact that so little is known about her after her early 'retirement' that makes her such an enigma.Gandhi is obvious to me, but why Garbo (if I may ask)?
Re: MB Namesakes you'd like to meet
Is there a Jack Kerouac WE yet?
It'd have to be a pencil, yeah? (I know there isn't a Kerouac.)
For writers, I'd pick Oscar Wilde over Hemingway. Seems there'd be more conviviality with Wilde.
