J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography by Humphrey Carpenter

Biography is a genre of non-fiction that presents a detailed account of a person's life, exploring their experiences, achievements, struggles, and impact. Written by someone other than the subject, biographies aim to provide an in-depth, factual, and often inspiring narrative, offering insight into personal journeys, historical events, and cultural moments through the lens of an individual’s story.

Biographies can cover a wide range of people—from historical figures, world leaders, and artists to scientists, activists, and everyday individuals—highlighting their contributions, challenges, and legacy. These works often combine personal anecdotes, interviews, letters, and historical context to bring the subject’s life vividly to life.

The Biography genre appeals to readers who enjoy real-life stories, gaining knowledge, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of influential or fascinating individuals and the times they lived in.
