Top Biographies and Memoirs to Read Online
"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show," stated Charles Dickens in the book David Copperfield. Biographies are books when there is a complete account of all the life events of a person may or may not be written by self. When it is written by self, it is known as autobiography. On other hand, there are memoirs which stand for the books written by self in which all the historical events are given for personal knowledge. Other than this, I feel that biographies written across the world are gifts for the people like us as what can be the best then to take lessons from other people's mistakes and to get inspired from them. There are many novels that I like but some of them are given below:

Neruda: The Poet's
Calling by Mark Eisner
Pablo Neruda is one of the most famous poets of the century, known for his erotic poetry. He has also written some of the best poems and my favourite is “Tonight, I am going to write the saddest lines”. Mark Eisner has done a good job and it is one of the most liked biographies of Pablo Neruda. He has described the depth of his poems and also has given an insight into his political views. This is such a good biography to read if you want to read about Neruda’s poetry.
