Biography & Autobiography, Books, Classic, Fictions, PhilosphersEcce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is ,(Reading Classic): Writer: Friedrich Nietzsche
About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a cultural critic. He was born on October 15, 1844, in Rocken, Saxony, Kingdom of Prussia. His works criticise the traditional European morality, religious values as well as conventional philosophical ideas associated with modernity. He is often seen as a predecessor to late modern thinkers like Marx and Freud, because of his psychological analyses of false consciousness. He proposed many original theories positing an alternative morality and ideas which would bring forth a cultural renewal. His notable works include The Birth of Tragedy out of the Spirit of Music (1872), The Gay Science (1882), Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–5), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), On the Genealogy of Morality (1887), Twilight of the Idols (1888) and The Wagner Case (1888). In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental breakdown. Eleven years later, he died on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, German Empire.

Autobiography, Biography & Autobiography, Books, Classic, FictionsMuhammad: His Life Based On the Earliest Sources,Writer : Martin Lings
About the Author
Martin Lings s Life of Muhammad is unlike any other. Based on Arabic sources of the eighth and ninth centu ries, of which some important passages are translated here for the first time, it owes the freshness and direct ness of its approach to the words of the men and women who heard Muhammad speak and witnessed the events of his life.
Martin Lings has an unusual gift for narrative. He has adopted a style which is at once extremely readable and reflects both the simplicity and grandeur of the story. The result is something that can be read with equal enjoyment by those already familiar with Muhammad s life and those coming to it for the first time

Not the Whole Truth: My Life and Times By: Tariq Rahman (Autobiography).
It provides valuable insights into the way universities functioned and how research was done in Pakistan between the 1980s till 2024. The author’s way of functioning may not be the typical way in which most academics functioned but still it provides some understanding of the processes of conducting research, publishing and teaching. It is relevant to mention that there is paucity of biographical accounts of academics in Pakistan. This autobiography, therefore, is an attempt to fill in this gap in biographical literature.

About the Author
Tamara is a Bangladeshi-Australian who spent her childhood in Saudi Arabia. Her favourite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Enid Blyton and Charles Dickens.
