Biographical works are written accounts that detail the life and experiences of an individual. These works can take various forms, including books, articles, and documentaries, and often explore significant events, achievements, and personal challenges faced by the subject. Common subjects of biographical works include historical figures, artists, scientists, and political leaders, such as Albert Einstein or Marie Curie.
These narratives aim to provide insight into the person's character, motivations, and impact on society. Biographical works can be categorized into different types, such as authorized biographies, which are written with the subject's consent, and unauthorized biographies, which may offer a more critical perspective.
