The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini by Benvenuto Cellini

adventurous funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

Honestly maybe the best autobiography I've ever read. Short chapters make it easily digestible, the writing style (and translations) are excellent. I came off this after reading Ascanio, by Dumas, and finding out that Cellini was a real guy. And it's evident that Dumas had read this book, because there are things, almost word for word, taken from here. I'll be buying a physical copy, for sure.
