Nothing better than a Doodle about Garcia Marquez
This novelist mostly known as Gabo would have been 91 years old past March 6th. And Google remembers him through a Doodle dedicated to the memory of this great author. Between a colorful Amazonian jungle and the magical city of Macondo, from his book “One Hundred Years of Solitude”
This famous writer was born in Aracataca, Colombia on March 6th, 1927. He spent much of his life dedicating himself to journalism before he could truly begin his career as a novelist. For those who think that they have dedicated themselves to only one thing in life and believe that they can’t do anything more, this is a great example of life. If you truly want to you can.
