Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's
graphic 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.
