The Complete Persepolis: Volumes 1 and 2

The Complete Persepolis: Volumes 1 and 2 is a graphic memoir written and illustrated by Marjane Satrapi. It is a compilation of her two previously published books, "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood" and "Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return." The memoir tells the story of Marjane Satrapi's experiences growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution in the late 1970s and the subsequent Iran-Iraq War. Through a series of black-and-white illustrations, Satrapi recounts her personal journey from childhood to adulthood, exploring themes of identity, politics, religion, and feminism. In Volume 1, "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood," Satrapi describes her early years in Tehran, including her family's liberal background and their opposition to the oppressive regime. As the revolution unfolds, Satrapi witnesses the transformation of her country, with the introduction of strict religious laws and the suppression of personal freedoms. She also shares her experiences as a young girl coming of age during this tumultuous period. In Volume 2, "Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return," Satrapi continues her narrative, detailing her struggles as a teenager sent to Vienna, Austria, to escape the war. She confronts the challenges of adapting to a new culture, dealing with alienation, and finding her own identity. Eventually, Satrapi returns to Iran, where she faces the difficulties of living in a post-revolutionary society. "The Complete Persepolis" offers a unique perspective on the Iranian Revolution and its aftermath, providing insights into the political and social climate of the time. The memoir has received critical acclaim for its vivid storytelling and powerful portrayal of personal and historical events. It has also been adapted into an animated film, further extending its reach and impact. Please note that this information does not include any pricing details.
