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.
