"If you like autobiographies, as I do, then you will be pleased to know that this one actually is an auto-biography. It has been written entirely by... the person themselves, quite a novelty these days, and she is not in her 20s having only experienced school, a part in a soap, pinup picks, or is famous for merely being famous. No. Francoise Pascal has experienced probably more than any one person should have in her life . Francoise is generous. To her friends; she is open hearted and empathetic . To charities; she gives time and hard work. To her son; she'd give her all, and now that she is to be a grandmother . . . look out baby, she'll try to give you the world. Francoise is unique. This is an honest book of a life well lived, if not always lived well" Jenny Hanley For more information about Francoise Pascal's Autobiography go to: http://francoisepascal.co.uk/register.more
A biography is a detailed description or account of someone's life. It entails more than basic facts , a biography also portrays a subject's... experience of these events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae , a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of his or her life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of a subject's personality. Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called legacy writing. Biographical works in diverse media—from literature to film—form the genre known as a biography. An authorized biography is written with the permission, cooperation, and, at times, participation of a subject or a subject's heirs. An autobiography is about a life of a subject, written by that subject or sometimes with a collaborator. The Early Middle Ages saw a decline in awareness of the classical culture in Europe. During this time, the only repositories of knowledge and records of the early history in Europe were those of the Roman Catholic Church.more
