Non-fiction literature

thumb|upright=1.2|Third volume of a 1727 edition of Plutarch's [[Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans printed by Jacob Tonson]] A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It involves more than just basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae (résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality.
