Best Selling Books by Marjane Satrapi

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. “A wholly original achievement.... Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances.... A stark, shocking impact.” —The New York Times: "The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years" One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age 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 and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. 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 reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with 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.

A MEMOIR OF GROWING UP AS A GIL IN REVOLUTIONARY IRAN, PERSEPOLISE PRIVIDES A UNIQUEGLIMPLSE INTO A NEARLY UNKNOWN AND UNREACHABLE WAY OF LIFE.

The fascinating continuation of the best-selling Persepolis, “one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day” (Los Angeles Times). Marjane Satrapi dazzles with her heartrending graphic memoir about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging. Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up—here compounded by Marjane’s status as an outsider both abroad and at home—it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

An urgent, groundbreaking and visually stunning new collection of graphic story-telling about the present Iranian revolution, using comics to show what would be censored in photos and film in Iran. Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, returns to graphic art with this collaboration of over 20 activists, artists, journalists, and academics working together to depict the historic uprising, in solidarity with the Iranian people and in defense of feminism. On September 13th 2022, a young Iranian student, Mahsa Amini, was arrested by the morality police in Tehran. Her only crime was that she wasn’t properly wearing the headscarf required for women by the Islamic Republic. At the police station, she was beaten so badly she had to be taken to the hospital, where she fell into a deep coma. She died three days later. A wave of protests soon spread through the whole country, and crowds adopted the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom”—words that have been chanted around the world during solidarity rallies. In order to tell the story of this major revolution happening in her homeland, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together an array of journalists, activists, academics, artists, and writers from around the world to create this powerful collection of full-color, graphic-novel-style essays and perspectives that bear witness: Contributing artists: Joann Sfar, Coco, Mana Neyastani, Catel, Pascal Rabate, Patricia Bolanos, Paco Roca, Bahareh Akrami, Hippolyte, Shabnam Adiban, Lewis Trondheim, Winshluss, Touka Neyastani, Bee, Deloupy, Nicolas Wild, and Marjane Satrapi. 3 expert perspectives on Iran: long-time journalist for Libération and political scientist Jean-Pierre Perrin; researcher and Iran specialist Farid Vahid; and UC Berkeley historian Abbas Milani, Director of the Iranian Studies program at Stanford University. Woman, Life, Freedom demonstrates that this is not an unexpected movement, but a major uprising in a long history of women who have wanted to affirm their rights. It will continue.

Persépolis es la autobiografía de Marjane Satrapi, una mujer iraní nacida en Teherán en 1969 en el seno de una familia progresista. Pero, además del retrato de la vida de la autora, también es el reflejo de la revolución iraní de 1979 que dio lugar a un gobierno islámico y de cómo lo vivieron las familias del país. Desde el inicio, con la introducción del velo en la vida social y la separación por sexos en las escuelas, hasta la vida universitaria y las revueltas estudiantiles, Satrapi hace un repaso a su vida que se remonta a sus antepasados, ayudándonos a entender las motivaciones históricas de la revolución islámica, mostrándonos a la vez una opinión crítica con el gobierno. Inicialmente publicado en cuatro volúmenes, la presente edición los recopila todos en un solo volumen, junto con nuevas páginas a color publicadas en la revista SZ-Magazin, no 44, en el año 2003, y el El País Semanal aquí en España.

Téhéran 1978 : Marjane, huit ans, songe à l''avenir et se rêve en prophète sauvant le monde.

Paru à l''origine entre 2000 et 2004 en 4 volumes, Persepolis est la première bande dessinée iranienne, l''autobiographie dessinée d''une orientale en exil. Depuis sa sortie, Persepolis a fait le tour du monde, est devenu un classique étudié dans les écoles et a fait l''objet d''une adaptation au cinéma de nombreuses fois récompensée. Pour fêter les 10 ans de la version monovolume qui regroupe les quatre tomes, L''Association se paye le luxe d''une nouvelle édition reliée et cartonnée dotée d''une toute nouvelle couverture et de pages de garde dessinées pour l''occasion par Marjane Satrapi. -- [payot.ch].

Teheran. La piccola Marjane, a 9 anni ha già sviluppato un carattere ribelle e anticonformista che le fa rifiutare le rigide regole della società iraniana. Preoccupati per l''incolumità della figlia, i genitori di Marjane, quando lei compie 14 anni, decidono di mandarla a studiare in Austria. L''esperienza austriaca è per Marjane piuttosto traumatica a causa della sua identificazione, agli occhi degli altri, proprio con quel mondo fatto di estremismo e fondamentalismo religioso cui lei si è ribellata. Alla fine della scuola, dopo una serie di forti delusioni, il richiamo verso le sue radici e la sua famiglia la spinge a tornare in Iran. Tuttavia, anche il reinserimento a Teheran si dimostra piuttosto difficile e Marjane continua a portare avanti la sua battaglia contro l''ipocrisia della società iraniana di cui è testimone fino ad arrivare alla difficile scelta di abbandonare il suo paese per trasferirsi in Francia, dove poter condurre finalmente una vita senza vincoli e regole, senza però rinnegare il suo essere iraniana.

"Marjane Satrapi tinha apenas dez anos quando se viu obrigada a usar o véu islâmico, numa sala de aula só de meninas. Nascida numa família moderna e politizada, em 1979 ela assistiu ao início da revolução que lançou o Irã nas trevas do regime xiita - apenas mais um capítulo nos muitos séculos de opressão do povo persa. Vinte e cinco anos depois, com os olhos da menina que foi e a consciência política à flor da pele da adulta em que se transformou, Marjane emocionou leitores de todo o mundo com essa autobiografia em quadrinhos, que só na França vendeu mais de 400 mil exemplares. Em Persépolis, o pop encontra o épico, o oriente toca o ocidente, o humor se infiltra no drama - e o Irã parece muito mais próximo do que poderíamos suspeitar."--
