The complete Persepolis

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.
