Here in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed memoir in-comic-strips. Persepolis isthe story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving familyin Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private and public life in acountry plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna, facing the trials ofadolescence far from her family; of her homecoming-both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of herself-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and adolescence atonce outrageous and familiar, a young life entwined with the history of her country yet filled withthe universal trials and joys of growing up.

Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humorand hard-earned wisdom, Persepolis is "a dazzling singular achievement" (Salon) from one of themost highly regarded, uniquely talented graphic artists at work today.
