Robert Louis Stevenson who was the famous 19th century travel writer and also a novelist, poet and essayist is the new Google doodle gracing the webpage of the search engine on his 160th birthday anniversary.
Dedicating a Google doodle to Robert the search engine is paying a tribute to the literary figure who was much inspired the works of Rudyard Kipling, G.K. Chesterton, Vladimir Nabokov, Marcel Schwob and Ernest Hemingway. Born in the year 1850 on the 13th of November, Robert was placed in Scotland. Some his most recognized works include Treasure Island, Kidnapped and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
Dedicating a day to this great man, Google has put up a picture of a pirate kind of a sailor who stands across the corner of the screen with his hands folded across along with a little parrot marking his shoulder. The middle of the picture has a ship with a compass to the left and a crest full of treasure on the right.
The entire depiction seems like an old piece of paper with the image drawn upon it in a semi rolled up condition. When the image is clicked upon the search engine comes up with results by the name of the writer Robert Louis Stevenson who is known for his travel writings.
Even though Robert died on the 3rd of December, 1894 that is more than a century ago but this tribute is a surely a grand honor for the writer who presented the world with some rich writings that will always be eternally remembered by all.
