Art of biography

Translation

The book “The Art of Biography” by Dr. Ihsan Abbas deals with the study of autobiographical narrative literature in Arabic literature, trying to link it to the history of Arab civilization and the current of Arab thought and psychology. The author focuses on the importance of autobiography as an image of lived experience in literature, considering that it illuminates the past and the future and provides a deeper understanding of the mission of literature. Abbas presents examples of Arab and Western autobiographies, trying to highlight the differences and similarities between them, focusing on artistic biography as an independent literary art.
