About this product

Product Information

Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir. Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence at once outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled with the universal trials and joys of growing up. Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom-- Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.

  • Persepolis

    I began reading _Persepolis_ in a college campus bookstore--where it was twice the price I eventually paid. (The story was so enthralling that I considered ducking behind the selves to finish it). Instead, I found this copy, and soon learned that the narrative and artwork only became better the further I read. Marjane Satrapi's humor, her artwork, and the way she talks about war, gender, immigration, and more showed me how a work can open you up. It's outstanding.
