Google has included the famous French author among its litany of Doodle-saints by honoring him with today's doodle:
As Community Business College is an institution concerned with higher learning, we thought we'd add our own recognition of the great writer with a picture of him and a favorite quotation about reading:
By the way, since Google decided to offer a slide show that includes both well known and less well known works, here is a key to the representations of the Google Doodle recognizing Victor Hugo:
Notre-Dame de Paris (also known as The Hunchback of Notre Dame ) - 1831
Les Contemplations: A book of poetry dedicated to his daughter, Léopoldine Hugo, who drowned in the Seine River – 1856
As a side note, perhaps it’s best that Google didn’t decide
to include a doodle about how Victor Hugo used to motivate himself to write
when he had writer’s block: lock himself in a room, bare naked, with nothing
but a pen and paper. Definitely would not make a dignified doodle.
