Description
Persepolis tells the story of Marjane Satrapi's life in Tehran, growing up during the Iranian Revolution. Born to radical Marxists, Satrapi's childhood was uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Her family's experiences offer a poignant and humorous glimpse into daily life in Iran, where the private and public lives often seemed worlds apart. Satrapi's child's eye view of her childhood adds immediacy and humour to her story, which is both outrageous and ordinary, beset by tragedy and yet buffered by an extraordinary and loving family. This powerful and moving portrait of a childhood at once ordinary and extraordinary is a testament to the enduring power of family and love. A poignant and humorous exploration of a country's history, Persepolis is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
