Biography

A biography is a detailed account of a person’s life written by someone else. It typically encompasses various aspects of an individual’s experiences, including their childhood, education, career, relationships, and contributions to society. Biographies aim to provide insight into the subject’s character, achievements, and the historical context in which they lived. These works can vary in length and depth, ranging from short profiles to extensive narratives. They serve to inform readers about influential figures, historical personas, or notable individuals in various fields, thereby preserving their legacy and providing inspiration or lessons learned from their lives. A biography differs from an autobiography, which is written by the individual themselves.
