Wise, often funny, sometimes heart-breaking, Persepolis tells the story of Marjane Satrapi''s life in Tehran , growing up during the Iranian Revolution.
The intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran''s last emperor, Satrapi 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.
Amidst the tragedy, Marjane''s child''s eye view adds immediacy and humour, and her story of a childhood at once outrageous and ordinary, beset by the unthinkable and yet buffered by an extraordinary and loving family, is immensely moving.
''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
