The 112th birthday of Jorge Luis Borges, the famed Argentinian author known for his works that explored dreams and unreality, has been celebrated with a colourful Google Doodle.
Google's doodle to celebrate Jorge Luis Borges 112th birthday
Users visiting the search engine’s home page are met with a colourful montage appearing to show a maze of “magical realism”.
It shows an ageing man standing in front of a complex scenery including a large library, as he views labyrinths and staircases and “forking paths”.
When the illustration is clicked on it returns search results on the literary giant and poet who is credited with pioneering the science fiction genre.
He was born in Buenos Aires on August 24 1899 and during his early year he was taught at home by his parents before attending school in Geneva, Switzerland.
After returning to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in surrealist literary journals.
