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.
