<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Satrapis groundbreaking two-part graphic memoir of her unforgettable girlhood within a large family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution--now available in one volume--has been transferred to the big screen in a major animated film from Sony Picture Classics.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir. <p/><i>Persepolis</i> 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. <p/>Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom--<i>Persepolis</i> is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran, <i>Persepolis</i> provides a unique glimpse into a nearly unknown and unreachable way of life...
