 ginally published to wide critical acclaim in France\, where it elicited c
 omparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus\, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise
 \, funny\, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islam
 ic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images\, Satrapi te
 lls 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 Revol
 ution\, 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 uniquel
 y entwined with the history of her country. Persepolis paints an unforgett
 able portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions bet
 ween home life and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes
  exact on the individual spirit. Marjane's child's-eye-view of dethroned e
 mperors\, state-sanctioned whippings\, and heroes of the revolution allows
  us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of he
 r own extraordinary family. Intensely personal\, profoundly political\, an
 d wholly original\, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stun
 ning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows 
 how we carry on\, through laughter and tears\, in the face of absurdity. A
 nd\, finally\, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom w
 e cannot help but fall in love."-- Provided by publisher.</p>\nhttps://scl
