What is a story based on real person's life?

Answer 1

This, generally, is called nonfiction. However, that can still cover a great deal of literary territory. Literature about real persons and/or things are not necessarily historical or biographical in nature. For example, Gary Jennings wrote a wonderful novel called Journyer, about Marco Polo. But it is not a history; the genre would be historical fiction. His Aztec books would fall into the same genre. On the other hand, a book about a person written by the person her/himself would usually be considered autobiography, or biography if written by someone else. The presumption (not always true) is that these books are historical in nature, and there are no substantive fictional narratives in such books. Then there are straight historical accounts that usually cover many people, places and things, and attempt to convey a balance of factual information and some kind of in-depth analysis of events.
