Biographies

Biographies are a literary genre that narrates the life story of an individual, detailing their experiences, achievements, and significant events that shaped their existence. Typically written by someone other than the subject, biographies provide insights into the personal and professional life of the individual, offering a comprehensive overview of their character, influences, and impact on society. They may cover various aspects of a person’s life, including their upbringing, education, career, relationships, and contributions to culture or history. Biographies can vary in style and approach, ranging from factual accounts to more interpretive narratives, and they often seek to provide a deeper understanding of the subject’s motivations and the context in which they lived.
