A humble pen. A sweeping life. A story you'll never forget.
Bic: A Memoir - The Pen That Wrote the World is an extraordinary literary journey told from the unlikeliest narrator: a simple blue Bic Cristal ballpoint. From factory birth to forgotten drawer, from school desks to revolutions, from love letters to last signatures, this small, everyday object becomes the quiet witness to a century of human emotion.
Told in a warm, lyrical, and deeply human voice, this memoir transforms a disposable pen into a companion who observes us at our most honest-when we write. Through humorous anecdotes, tender confessions, and philosophical reflections, the Bic reveals what it means to create, to remember, to love, and to leave a mark.
Perfect for lovers of The Little Prince, The Book Thief, and object-centered storytelling, this book blends nostalgia with wonder, illuminating how even the simplest tools carry the weight of our lives.
A celebration of handwriting.
A love letter to creativity.
A reminder that our smallest stories often leave the deepest imprint.
Whether you're a writer, a dreamer, a note-taker, or someone who still carries a pen "just in case," this unforgettable memoir will make you see your own Bic differently-and maybe even yourself.
