Wonderful comic book, reminiscent of Maus and the Hernandez brothers work in its honesty, humanity and stark, simple visual style. ( ![]() This graphic memoir tells the story of the artists’ childhood in Iran starting just before the 1979 revolution, when Marjane was 10, to her departure from Iran at age 14 to study in Vienna. Marjane’s parents allowed her as much freedom as they could, and she felt empowered to stand up for her beliefs. As a 10-year-old, she was reading comics about dialectical materialism, with conversations between Descartes and Marx. She bonded with her uncle, who had been a political prisoner for his communist beliefs. She also loved pop culture like jeans, makeup, and pop music (Iron Maiden and Kim Wilde were favorites). These pleasures provided an outlet from the constant threat of bombs from the Iran/Iraq war and from the revolutionary government and its strict enforcement of Islamic behavior, which for women meant being properly veiled, among other things. The Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis were a part of my teenage years. My knowledge of these events mostly comes from the daily news broadcasts as the events unfolded. It was interesting to view these events from an insider’s perspective. The bold black and white illustrations perfectly suit the story Satrapi tells. Recommended. Not much of a fan of comic books. I observe this book is proclaimed by many fans as "deep". Più che un vero e proprio racconto organico è una serie di episodi dell'infanzia di Marjane Satrapi, che vive il traumatico passaggio da un'infanzia "occidentalizzata" ad una sotto le rigide regole del regime islamico. L'autrice non fa sconti nemmeno a sé stessa: non si dipinge come un personaggio particolarmente positivo, è testarda, sembra non capire i rischi che corre e che fa correre ai propri genitori, di mentalità moderna e loro stessi traumatizzati dagli avvenimenti (che oltretutto la assecondano anche troppo, a un occhio esterno). La vita è sicuramente difficile, ma non è un buco nero di miseria come siamo abituati a pensare: sono persone che cercano di condurre una vita "normale" nonostante l'estremismo e la guerra, alternando a bombardamenti, repressioni, incarcerazioni ed esecuzioni a momenti dove ci si può ritagliare persino una vacanza. Il tratto è semplice, ma molto espressivo, resta un must, anche a livello scolastico. The author is the same age as I am, and the events in the book were sort of on the periphery of my knowledge when they were happening, as I think most 10-11-12-year-olds are aware of international news. I really liked this insider's view of what happened.
Satrapi’s style is almost primitive, consisting of flat figures with simple shapes and features. It’s more sophisticated than a child’s creations, but it superficially resembles them, an approach that supports the presentation of memories from that period of life. Marjane Satrapi's ''Persepolis'' is the latest and one of the most delectable examples of a booming postmodern genre: autobiography by comic book.

An intelligent and outspoken only child, Satrapi--the daughter of radical Marxists and the great-granddaughter of Iran's last emperor--bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman's Maus, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and heartbreaking 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: of the bewildering contradictions between 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 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 stunning 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. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
