Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances.... A stark, shocking impact.” —The New York Times: \"The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years\"Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.  In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life  in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime,  the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq.  The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter  of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined  with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of  daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public  life. Marjane’s child’s-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings,  and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating  country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political,  and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of  the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter  and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible  little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love. Persepolis 2: The Story  of a Return Here is the continuation of Marjane Satrapi's fascinating story.  In  1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna.  Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family,  and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders,  she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging. Finding that she misses her  home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult  homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone  in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane  allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends,  falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and  state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have  a future in Iran. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another  clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction  of the struggles of growing up—here compounded by Marjane’s status as an outsider  both abroad and at home—it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44088948424969,"sku":"9780375423963","price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3514\/7159\/products\/persepolis-box-set-924398.jpg?v=1696029025"},{"product_id":"the-complete-persepolis-hc","title":"The Complete Persepolis 20th Anniversary Edition HC","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in hardcover, a stunning twentieth-anniversary complete edition of the beloved graphic memoir, with a new introduction by the author that examines the Iranian political landscape in the contex tof global politicsHere, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed memoir-in-comic-strips.
