The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini

His autobiography doesn't shy away from the gritty and often brutal realities of his experiences. I wonder what the author aimed to achieve by sharing these raw stories.

His boldness is on full display, but it also made me question how much of his narrative is subjective. How do readers interpret his sense of ego and pride?

His storytelling reflects the values and struggles of his time, but I'm curious how much of his personal narrative is universal or uniquely historical.
