Autobiographies are an important part of writing history, since they give a unique, first-hand, and an eyewitness account of the past, as lived by their writers. Autobiographies give us a glimpse of rich lives lived with all their ups and downs, struggles and failures, as well as advances and setbacks. Such genre invites us to look at history, not so much through a distant bird’s eye view, but through the eyes of one person as he/she closely experienced it.
Yet, autobiographies are not usually written close in time to the events recounted, but rather are written in retrospect. Therefore, autobiographies offer a rear-view mirror of events.
