Moleskine Classic Expanded Notebook (400 pages), Softcover, Lined, Large Size (13cm x 21cm), Sapphire Blue, QP616EXPB20

For two centuries, Moleskine notebooks have been the heir and successor to a legendary notebook beloved by artists and thinkers such as Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. The simple black rectangular notebook with rounded corners has recorded precious sketches, scribbles, stories, and ideas before famous paintings and popular novels were published. This notebook, a favorite of Bruce Chatwin, which he called "Moleskine," gradually declined in the mid-1980s and eventually disappeared completely. In 1997, a small Milanese publisher revived this legendary notebook, choosing the nickname to carry on its special tradition of creativity and self-expression. Moleskine believes that the power of handwriting transcends time, is an essential expression of human civilization, a powerful act that unleashes human talent, and promotes the development and sharing of knowledge through writing. In our fast-paced, technologically advanced world, we take pride in the artistry of the human hand. It's the eternal joy of placing a pen on paper and unleashing your own unique voice. We celebrate the solemn, thoughtful, and meditative act of a pen gliding across a blank page. We also celebrate the romance of weaving personal stories to record lifelong memories and leave a distinctive testament of unique beauty. Handwriting is both universal and deeply personal. It's a way to express your true self and connect with others in a private yet universal way. Place your pen on paper and unleash your own voice.
