SYNOPSIS
The brilliant graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution.
Marjane Satrapi lived through the Iranian Revolution as a little girl. This is her classic memoir-in-comic-strips, the story of a child entangled in the history and politics of her country. It paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up in revolutionary and war-torn Iran, in a family that was both outrageous and ordinary, beset by tragedy and yet buffered by love. Funny, wise, ultimately heartbreaking and told with unforgettable pictures.
‘A revelation...you will remember it for a very long time’ Mark Haddon
‘The magic of Marjane Satrapi’s work is that it can condense a whole country’s tragedy into one poignant, funny scene after another’ Independent on Sunday
THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS VOLUMES I & II: Includes The Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return
TRANSLATED BY ANJALI SINGH

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Marjane Satrapi
Marjane Satrapi was born in Rasht, Iran, in 1969, and currently lives in Paris. She studied at the French lycée in Tehran, where she spent her childhood. The great-granddaughter of an emperor of the country, she received an education that combined the traditions of Persian culture with Western and leftist values. At fourteen, she left for Austria, and later returned to Iran to study fine arts. Established in France as an author and illustrator, Marjane achieved worldwide fame with Persepolis, a work that won some of the most prestigious awards in this literary genre. Marjane's illustrations are published in magazines and newspapers around the world, including The New Yorker and The New York Times.
