Autobiography

An autobiography (from the Greek, 伪峤愊勏屜�-autos self + 尾委慰蟼-bios life + 纬蟻维蠁蔚喂谓-graphein to write) is a book about the life of a person, written by that person.

Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes difficult to precisely distinguish from it) is the form of memoir. However, an autobiography typically focuses on the "life and times" of the writer, while a memoir has a narrower, more intimate focus on his or her own memories, feelings and emotions.
