EL GRAN CLÁSICO DE LA NOVELA GRÁFICA, en su edición definitiva

Persépolis nos cuenta la revolución islámica iraní vista desde los  ojos de una niña que asiste atónita al cambio profundo que  experimentan  su país y su familia, mientras ella debe aprender a llevar el velo.  Intensamente personal y profundamente político, el relato autobiográfico  de Marjane Satrapi examina qué significa crecer en un ambiente de guerra y represión política.

English description:

Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi’s best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir.

Persepolis 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.

Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom–Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.
