"Everything I know, I know because of Google."
Or so the great Russian novelist might have said had he been born
today. So it's perhaps a good thing he was born almost two centuries
ahead of us.
Google on Tuesday paid tribute to Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy with an interactive Doodle marking his 186th birth anniversary.
Visitors to Google's homepage were greeted with a doodle of Tolstoy, along with a Play button inviting them to click.
Clicking on the button would take visitors on a brief tour of some of
Tolstoy's novels, including "War and Peace," "Anna Karenina" and "The
Death of Ivan Ilyich."
As in the past, clicking
on the spyglass at the end of the interactive doodle will take the
visitor to a Search Results page for Leo Tolstoy.
A report on UK's The Independent said Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 and died of pneumonia in 1910.
It pointed out that "War and Peace" is considered one of the world's most important works of literature. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
