About the author
Marjane Satrapi
30听books6,219听followersMarjane Satrapi (Persian: 賲乇噩丕賳 爻丕鬲乇丕倬蹖) is an Iranian-born French contemporary graphic novellist, illustrator, animated film director, and children's book author. Apart from her native tongue Persian, she speaks English, Swedish, German, French and Italian.
Satrapi grew up in Tehran in a family which was involved with communist and socialist movements in Iran prior to the Iranian Revolution. She attended the Lyc茅e Fran莽ais there and witnessed, as a child, the growing suppression of civil liberties and the everyday-life consequences of Iranian politics, including the fall of the Shah, the early regime of Ruhollah Khomeini, and the first years of the Iran-Iraq War. She experienced an Iraqi air raid and Scud missile attacks on Tehran. According to Persepolis, one Scud hit the house next to hers, killing her friend and entire family.
Satrapi's family are of distant Iranian Azeri ancestry and are descendants of Nasser al-Din Shah, Shah of Persia from 1848 until 1896. Satrapi said that "But you have to know the kings of the Qajar dynasty, they had hundreds of wives. They made thousands of kids. If you multiply these kids by generation you have, I don't know, 10-15,000 princes [and princesses]. There's nothing extremely special about that." She added that due to this detail, most Iranian families would be, in the words of Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, "blue blooded."
In 1983, at the age of 14 Satrapi was sent to Vienna, Austria by her parents in order to flee the Iranian regime. There she attended the Lyc茅e Fran莽ais de Vienne. According to her autobiographical graphic novel, Persepolis, she stayed in Vienna through her high school years, staying in friends' homes, but spent three months living on the streets. After an almost deadly bout of pneumonia, she returned to Iran. She studied Visual Communication, eventually obtaining a Master's Degree from Islamic Azad University in Tehran.
During this time, Satrapi went to numerous illegal parties hosted by her friends, where she met a man named Reza, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq War. She married him at the age of 21, but divorced roughly three years later. Satrapi then moved to Strasbourg, France.

I sat down to read a little of this during lunch, and ended up sitting in the restaurant for an hour after I was done eating. Eventually I felt guilty and left, but my plans were shot for the afternoon, as all I could think about was finishing this book.
I wish there were some mechanism on 欧宝娱乐 to occasionally give a book more than five stars. Something to indicate when you think a book is more than merely excellent. Like for every 100 books you review, you earn the right to give one six-star review.
If such a mechanism were in place, I'd use my six-star review on this graphic novel. It was lovely and clear. It had a strong emotional impact, without being sugary or uncomfortable. It was eye-opening without being preachy or didactic. I read the whole thing in less than three hours, and I can honestly say I am better for the experience.

This should be required reading, I want to pass out copies of this book on street corners. Easily one of the best graphic novels--and books in general--I have ever read and I have just finished it for a second time after making my book club read it this month. Marjane Satrapi鈥檚 Persepolis is an important look at modern Iranian history, the people caught in the political struggles, and an empowering look at feminism and finding yourself amidst the bombs, oppression, and cultural clashes of the world. The historical events become the landscape for Satrapi鈥檚 coming of age story, witnessing the and war as a child, then spending her teenage years abroad only to return to Iran and struggle to thrive where women are kept down and the secret police are always lurking. Seriously, get this right now. I openly wept at a bar while reading this (while only on my first drink). I love Marjane Satrapi's work so much and I wish I would have come to it much sooner.
The graphic novel format for this story is very engaging, able to fluidly move between internal and external observations and depictions from frame to frame. The narration is quite extraordinary as well, with the language matching Marjane鈥檚 age as the novel progresses. Late in the book, as an adult, she even breaks the fourth wall, clearly addressing the reader while her cartoon image stares directly at you from the page. Like by , the graphic novel format makes for a wonderfully accessible look at history while delivering an incredible amount of emotion, empathy while also being a direct, first-person account of atrocities, violence and oppression from the perspective of someone facing it all themselves. Also like Maus, Satrapi鈥檚 Persepolis has faced a large amount of book challenges and bannings in the United States. Which is a real shame for many reasons, but a large one is that it puts Iranian history and society in a perspective that differs from the typical Western propaganda, such as showing Western influence in the regime change, countries like the US providing weapons for both Iran and Iraq during the war to weaken both as well as showing that most people living there are not the Fundamentalists and are trying to live a full life full of friendships and freedom.
The second half of the book deals with Marjane living abroad and the perceptions of others about Iran from the outside as well as seeing that oppressive beliefs and racism exist everywhere is a key detail. A favorite scene of mine is when Marjane is invited to hang out with anarchists only to find them playing capture the flag. There is a bit of rib-poking at college aged intelligentsia having heads full of theory but no experience, saying things to her like her having seen war and bodies in the street is 鈥渃ool鈥�, etc. The disconnect is quite interesting.
Though not everything in this book is about violence, and the coming-of-age aspects are really quite endearing. We see Marjane getting Western music from guys in trenchcoats on the street (her dad smuggling a Kim Wilde poster through airport security is a wonderful scene), witness disasterous relationships and breakups, watch her try to reinvent herself and grow up into who she is. Her story is quite moving and we see her challenge societal norms, such as pushing for better dresscodes for the art school she attends. Along the way we get the idea that she is lucky to have escaped many of the scenarios involving authorities.
The biggest heart of the story, however, is the family dynamic. The emotional connection and love for her grandmother, the tragic scenes of her Uncle being detained, and the love and care from her parents make for a very moving read. I love the father and his honesty with his daughter and often try to keep him in mind when raising my own daughters. I certainly thought of him when my oldest wanted to know about the January 6th insurrection at the US Capitol or when explaining what was happening as Covid began in 2020 and opted to be open and talk to her like an adult when explaining what it meant instead of avoiding it. Satrapi paints a very captivating family story here that is sure to touch anyone鈥檚 heart.
But don鈥檛 just listen to me rave about this book, pick up a copy as soon as possible. I love it, my whole book club loved it, and I鈥檓 guessing you will too.
5/5

This and Maus are the best graphic novels ever and both among the first I read in the genre, and they ruined all the rest of them for me forever.
In short: I recommend!
Bottom line: Not really reviewing this because how much more is there to say!

A masterpiece of graphic novels
This edition as the name indicates, collects the complete run of 鈥淧ersepolis鈥�.
Creative Team:
Creator, Writer & Illustrator: Marjane Satrapi
REVOLUTIONARY WORK
I remember the days when we traveled around Europe, it was enough to carry an Iranian passport. They rolled out the red carpet. We were rich before. Now as soon as they learn our nationality, they go through everything, as though we were all terrorists. They treat us as though we have the plague.
Persepolis is the masterpiece by Marjane Satrapi, a pseudo-biographical work, illustrating her life since 10 years old (1980) until 24 years old (1994), where she experienced her coming-to-life, in her native Iran, during the Islamic Revolution and the war with Iraq, along with four years in Europe, and her return to Iran again.
In this graphic novel you will witness many of the convoluted events happening during the decade of the 80s in the Middle East, from the point of view of a brave girl that was living at the heart of the incidents.
Marjane is able to present each topic that she wants to expose in titled parts where you learn about relevant facts of Iranian鈥檚 society, its past, its present and its future.
However, what makes unique Persepolis is the brilliant approach by Marjane Satrapi of those events, since while she is fearless to show the brutal side, she is also honest in showing her failures and doubts during growing up, and even she goes to the funny side of life.
Since it鈥檚 impossible for any human being to live in constant stressed status, people need to breath, to liberate the weight of their risky existence in many different ways.
People needs to smile, not matter where they live. They need to live.
And Marjane knows that.
Therefore, she masterfully is able to tell her lifestory, full of political episodes and social chapters, but always adding humoristic elements with taste and without ridiculing the seriousness and gravity of the situations.
Anybody can tell a tragedy but鈥�
鈥 dramedy requires talent, tact and wit.
Brace yourself and meet Persepolis.

Real life Middle East Handmaids麓tale
Persepolis 1: The Story of a Childhood
An epic tale of sociocultural evolutions, silent revolutions, and never losing hope and trust in progressive, new solutions although backlashes and setbacks are omnipresent and daunting.
Each country has its big, subtle, and socially critical work that is right in the face of the shoals, bigotry, and cognitive dissonances of an established form of government and this is one of the best ones from the lands of One Thousand and One Nights. As always in these cases, the authors麓 risk everything by using creativity and art to point the finger at the abysses, malfunctions, and dark sides of systems.
Unique because of the special, cultural background
In other cases and countries, especially democratic Western ones, this would be an average coming of age novel, forced reading if it麓s a possibly bad, patriotically idealized writer from this nation, free reading if it麓s a really good one with the target audience and style necessities considered, and thereby not acceptable for boring school reading, but Persepolis is different. Rebellion, emancipation, and freedom aren麓t just some quarrels with parents, teachers, and conservative uncles and aunts, this is all against the system so that the courage and risk of everyone daring to speak out can麓t be compared with Western emo teenage dirtbag goth problems, where there is nothing at stake except possible future psychiatric couch time fun regarding why mummy and daddy didn麓t love, understand, and support ones individuality and creativity enough. Compare that to torture prisons and dictatorships, to totalitarianism, and discrimination of all females, and one gets a picture of what first world teenage problems really mean.
POV and authenticity.
Just as the unique, cultural background, the female perspective in this, again, misogynist society makes it extra impressive, irritating, and bizarre, because backlashes come with a special taste of bitterness. Never having something is a different and maybe even worse thing than losing everything that was in range again. Difficult to say if a male, not discriminated author, could or would (have wanted) to write a similar work, or if he would have had the talent to create the same, authentic, emotional masterpiece, but subjectively I don麓t think so, because there are (don麓t lapidate me, no matter if Western do gooders or jihadists) natural differences in male and female writing, strongly based on interests, audience (show me all the female hard sci-i readers and writers and the male romance equivalents), and yes, of course too, epigenetic conditioning to conform to gender roles and stereotypes. That麓s the potentially bad part with discrimination, gender wars, and political correctness gone ultra bonkers. But this would go a bit too far, so let麓s expand and get hyper meta towards
Global, political, religious, and, most important, economic reasons.
I tried to read a bit about the geopolitical background, especially regarding resources such as oil
the US and UK playing with manipulative coup god mode in world history, again
the endless beef with Saudi Arabia
, comparable to how different Christian faith麓 battle until the end times about how the read holy books, the open or secret influence of other big players such as Russia, China, India, etc., but it麓s far too complicated and controversial to get a clear picture and I simply haven麓t enough background knowledge to give any competent comment or opinion. Although I assume that I麓m not the only one, because to say that this is tricky would be an extreme understatement, especially including all the other US, Russian, Israeli, etc. war and proxy war "humanitarian interventions鈥� in the whole Middle East over the last decades. Now that麓s a messed up constellation one shouldn麓t touch with a ten foot pole.
Great transition, let麓s faith enter the stage
As so often, it boils down to ideology, no matter if political, economic, or, in this case, religious, but instead of endless agnostic, atheistic, nihilistic, or whatever istic, or philosophical, ethical, sociological, etc. argumentation (and thereby endless debate full of logical fallacies, cognitive dissonance, bias, etc.), one should just compare
and
Not much to add to that.
Except that I might now, again, be on some more watchlists and blacklists, and the number of countries I could safely visit without being considered a dissident demagogue reduced. Again. Good that I麓m a homebody without any need to see the world.
Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return
As if the Iranian Revolution hadn麓t already been bad enough, growing up in a Western country has its flaws too
Because in both worlds, she麓s an outsider
But at least she has a group of friends that aren麓t integrated too that help her to settle down in a very strange, foreign place (I麓m from Austria and have f world privileges). The problem is, it would take much more than just good friends to deal with such a traumatizing past she can麓t leave behind alone in a foreign country. So she decides to
Give it another try
This could be seen as a second attempt of fighting the system but, as the first time, it just can麓t work. One human against a system mostly just wins in fairytales. Still, this novel is one of the
Most important works showing women suffering under fundamentalism
Because no matter under which flag, symbol, or ideology, discrimination, exploitation, torture, and killing is always the same. Maybe a bit more sophisticated to give it a civilized touch, but the totalitarian approach always stays the same. While other books dealing with certain issues are interesting for relatively small groups of people of a certain age, sexual orientation, political ideology, etc., this one is written for hundreds of millions of women that are suffering. It麓s the
Real life Handmaid's tale
If states in Africa and the Middle East were democratized, they would look in shock at a description of a possible, dystopic alternative future, a uchronia of theocratic hardliners smashing progressive emancipation.
Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:

Ugh. I am deeply ambivalent. First, I found the political side fascinating. If you're interested in Iran's history, the graphic novel format is really accessible. However, I really disliked Marjane. I feel a little guilty about this, as she's a real person. While she and her family were proud that she was outspoken, I found her rude and obnoxious. They believed she was raised to be "free." I certainly appreciate their hugely liberal views in such a repressive environment, but their version of "free" felt more like "offensive" and "disrespectful" and "tactless." There are so many instances in this book where Marjane faces conflict, and instead of sticking up for herself in a decent manner, she resorts to calling people prostitutes or bitches or whatever. I never thought I'd be one to criticize profanity or being up-front, but I found that they made Marjane very unsavory.

Una joya de libro. Primera novela gr谩fica que leo y se me fue como agua.
La historia se narra desde el punto de vista de una ni帽a iran铆 de 10 a帽os a quien vemos crecer, vivir la represi贸n, la imposici贸n del velo, la p茅rdida de la libertad.
Pers茅polis es la lectura ideal para entender lo que se vive en medio de una guerra y la b煤squeda de oportunidades.
H谩ganse un favor y l茅anla.

The famous auto-biographical tale of an Iranian woman growing up during the fall of the Shah and the actualisation of the Islamic and cultural revolution. A terrific book, managing to capture the voices of childhood and youth whilst telling the story of living under the Shah and then the fundamentalist regime.
Please note that the author grew up in an upper middle class neighbourhood in a community of Marxist leanings and I would suggest that some of the Iranian history depicted should be taken with a pinch of salt, but ultimately this book is about Marjane, living in a permissive and liberal household and trying to find her identity during some of the most change-ridden times of modern Persian history. The sequences of her student days in Austria were also gripping. Superb book, recommended. 9 out of 12 Four Star read.

Visiting Spain for a conference earlier this month, I impulsively decided to do something about my almost non-existent Spanish. I began by reading the Spanish edition of Le petit prince, which got me started nicely. Now I wanted to try something harder. I had in fact read Persepolis in French not long after it came out, but I remembered very little of it; this would be a proper test of whether I had actually learned anything. I was pleased to find that I could read it! I'm still having to guess a lot of words, and every now and then I found a sentence that made no sense at all, but I could follow the story without difficulties.
The thing which surprised me most was that I found I liked the book better in Spanish than I had in French. After a while, I figured out why: my very uncertain language skills forced me to look carefully at all the pictures, and I realized that I hadn't properly appreciated them first time round. I'd read the book pretty much in one sitting, which didn't do it justice. This time, I gave the graphical aspects the attention they deserved.
But dammit, forget the Spanish and the artwork: it's still the story that wins. Her horror and indignation over the dreadful Iranian republic are so powerfully expressed. There's one episode in particular that I can't get out of my head. She's been characteristically loudmouthed at school. The teachers call her parents, and they tell her very seriously that she must be more careful. Does she know what had happened to the teenage daughter of the man they knew who made false passports?
Marji looks at them.
Well, say her parents, they arrested her. And they sentenced her to death. But, according to Iranian law, one may not put a virgin to death. So she was forcibly married to one of the revolutionary guards, and he deflowered her. And then they could shoot her. But, again according to Iranian law, the groom must give the bride a dowry, and if she is dead he must give it to her parents. So the next day, a representative of the revolutionary guard called on them. And he gave them fifty tumanes - about five dollars. That was the price for her virginity and her life.
I'm sorry, says Marji, stunned. I didn't know.
The truly terrifying thing is that the tone, throughout most of the book, is one of amused irony. As she says in another very powerful passage, when she meets a friend who's been horribly mutilated after serving in the war with Iraq, you can only complain up to a certain point, when the pain is still bearable. After that it makes no sense any more. All you can do is laugh.

~Full review ~ 4.5 stars
Things I didn't know before : was originally written in French. Way to feel dumb as shit in the (French) bookstore, I assure you.
Things I know now : , as a French-Iranian, can't enter the US now. But hey, it's for your "security", all that shit.***
*** I just learned that French-Iranian had been authorized to go to the US with a Visa.
Favorite quote from the whole collection : "As time passed, I grew increasingly aware of the contrast between the official representation of my country and people's real lives, what happened behind doors" (approximate translation by me, I don't own the English version to check)
... because we're at the core of what makes so interesting and, I'll say it, indispensable. For me, the strength of 's graphic-novel relies on the insight it offers the reader : where more classic nonfiction books can easily end up as mere juxtapositions of historical events (which is often boring, okay?), successfully breaks the codes by combining Iran's History with 's experience. I, for one, believe that we need this kind of insight just as much as history books, because as I said in my review of , it's way too easy to dehumanize people we know nothing about, to forget the much real people living in the countries that our leaders target.
This is what I mean when I say that there's nothing political anymore in strongly disagreeing with Trump's decisions, especially when it comes to Muslims. At this point, it's not about agreeing on reducing taxes for the rich in order to avoid flight of capital, it's about acknowledging that everything in Western culture participates in feeding our prejudices. Really it's about acknowledging that these prejudices are real and that it's an everyday, conscious work to fight against them.
What fighting prejudices does not mean : It doesn't mean agreeing with everything. It doesn't mean, oh my god, erasing western culture** - and that concept, loved and spread by so many of far right voters is so fucking ridiculous given the fact that we have controlled the narrative for so long, it's not even funny. The "great replacement" so dearly loved by FN voters is merely another way for them to express their islamophobia and show their lack of basic education. Forget me with this shit.
** I'm using "western culture" as a generalization here - I don't believe that all western countries share the *same* culture, far from it.
What fighting prejudices means : it means accepting that different experiences are just as much valid. It means educating yourself, reading about and from people from different cultures. It means rejecting any attempt of categorizing cultures as being good or evil as a whole. It means a lot of listening and maybe less talking.
Trust me, I very much include myself when I say that we have to educate ourselves. The truth is, I have a shit tons of biases. I'm desperately secular, hopelessly Cartesian and very much on the Left spectrum. I've beneficed from my white privilege my whole life. I'm a straight, abled woman from Europe. I will never understand religion - I am interested in religions, but it's not the same thing and it never will. As far as I'm concerned, though, people can believe what they want as long as they don't try to convince me that I should believe and live my life according to thus beliefs. And just to be clear, right now the intolerant people who are being vocals about condemning abortion or LGBTQIA rights in my country are very much Christians.
Nobody asks you to change what you are, but to accept that others aren't the same.
Am I going to screw up and fail to notice hurtful contents in the books I read? Probably, unfortunately. Yet I think that in the end, what baffles me and makes me so sad and so angry is the fact that so many people genuinely do not want to listen, learn and do better.
Everything starts with education, and I'm not saying this because I'm a teacher. Nobody should ever forget that "[we] know one thing; that [we] know nothing".

I keep promising to write a full review for this but never get around to it. Basically, I read Persepolis for my Gendered Communities course and I think it's one of those rare reads that actually gets better when you study it for the historical, cultural and political context. There are depressingly few Middle Eastern women whose books are read on a large scale so the insight which Persepolis offers into this part of Iran's history is very important. It offers a perspective we don't get to see too often.

Hace poco le铆 el cuento de la criada y me pareci贸 un libro de distop铆a inconcebible en la actualidad. Sin embargo, leer Pers茅polis me ha abierto much铆simo la mente, para una mujer occidental es f谩cil olvidar la realidad que se vive en los pa铆ses como Ir谩n e Iraq que est谩n sometidos a reg铆menes religiosos extremistas donde las mujeres no tienen ning煤n derecho. Ni siquiera pueden correr en p煤blico, maquillarse, ense帽ar los tobillos o las mu帽ecas... es que es tan surreal para mi pensar que eso pasa en el 2017.
Pero hay muchas personas que se rebelan contra el sistema, mucha gente que no esta de acuerdo y que hace una diferencia. Que importante es leer este libro amigos que en forma de novela gr谩fica se pasa volando.

This is an exceptionally charming, funny and real account of the Iranian revolution and its aftermath, through the eyes of a young woman who lived through much of it.
I laughed, I cried, I learned things.

I wanted to be Justice, Love and the Wrath of God all in one.
An incredibly funny, insightful and moving story told through the form of a graphic novel. This book serves as a memoir of the author, Marjane Satrapi. It is about a brave, young woman in 1980's Iran.
This book highlights the struggles that the Iranian people have had to go through. The changes in their culture, the forming of an Islamic Revolution and its aftermath; Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's childhood. It documents the rise in the Islamic Revolution and those that dissented from these views, the punishments they received. Through Marji's mind and eyes we see the rise of the Islamic Revolution and how this effects both the public and private life of her family. We get to see her rebel in her own ways- fighting for freedom and modernisation, her day-dreaming, her everyday life and struggles, through family turbulence's and her own identity through religion and it's governed customs. Through this book we are taught the histories of both her parents and Grandmothers views of previous era's and how this has changed or impacted from the current one. Marjane Satrapi also paints a vivid picture of what it is like to be a woman in Iran during this time of political and cultural shift.
And so to protect the women from all the potential rapists, they decreed that wearing the veil was obligatory.
At the committee, they didn't have to inform my parents. They could detain me for hours, or for days. I could be whipped.
Marjane Satrapi describes very intimate and frightening accounts of those who do not fit in with the ideals or those who go against it. This often ends up in horror and terror with tragic ends. She also describes how through this political transition, mindsets are influenced and swayed to meet with those in power. For example, universities are closed and schools are taught that the Islamic Revolution is the right way.
To die a martyr is to inject blood into the names of society.
Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return documents Satrapi's attendance to schools in Vienna, the rebelling, boys, modernisation and homelessness. It also focuses on her return to Iran. Here the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution is still occurring; with streets re-named after martyr's, exceptionally strict rules placed on women's clothing, the rules governing who she walks with down the street.
I felt as though I were walking through a cemetery.
This book offered a real sense of what it is like as a woman, and what is like for a family in the intense period of time of the Islamic Revolution. I must admit that I had very little knowledge of the history of Iran and it was exciting to develop this, despite the often haunting consequences this revolution had. The book invokes sympathy and empathy for Iranian people and those that suffer. The simplistic drawings in black and white made this story relatable and you could achieve a real perception and awareness of this political and global change. The drawings added to the complexity of the story, however, they were also often very funny too!
This was my first time reading a graphic novel and I was a bit weary of attempting this- but this is just such an amazing book I'll happily approach more in the future.
I wanted to be Justice, Love and the Wrath of God all in one.
An incredibly funny, insightful and moving story told through the form of a graphic novel. This book serves as a memoir of the author, Marjane Satrapi. It is about a brave, young woman in 1980's Iran.
This book highlights the struggles that the Iranian people have had to go through. The changes in their culture, the forming of an Islamic Revolution and its aftermath; Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's childhood. It documents the rise in the Islamic Revolution and those that dissented from these views, the punishments they received. Through Marji's mind and eyes we see the rise of the Islamic Revolution and how this effects both the public and private life of her family. We get to see her rebel in her own ways- fighting for freedom and modernisation, her day-dreaming, her everyday life and struggles, through family turbulence's and her own identity through religion and it's governed customs. Through this book we are taught the histories of both her parents and Grandmothers views of previous era's and how this has changed or impacted from the current one.

REREAD (2022): I decided to reread this graphic memoir last month because I was sick and therefore in the mood for a quick comic book. I enjoyed the first half as much as the first time around, but the second part was lacking in comparison. Check out my individual reviews for more in-depth thoughts: review for book 1 (5 stars) and book 2 (3 stars).
ORIGINAL REVIEW (2018): Persepolis is a graphic autobiography by Marjane Satrapi that depicts her childhood up to her early adult years in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. The first part (The Story of a Childhood) depicts the first fourteen years of her life spent in Iran, while the second part (The Story of a Return) focuses on her high school years in Vienna, Austria, including her subsequent return to Iran where she attends college, marries, and later divorces before moving to France.
Any reader could be any of these characters, could sympathize with their personal history, could easily find any one or all of Satrapi鈥檚 experiences relatable on some level. The very artistic rendering of Satrapi鈥檚 graphic memoir permits a creative license on the readers鈥� behalf to visualize as extravagantly as they鈥檇 choose.
I was deeply moved by Marji鈥檚 tale. I picked up Persepolis on a whim at my local bookstore (started reading it in the store actually and then finished it late at night in bed because I couldn鈥檛 put it out down). I genuinely think that I read this memoir at the perfect time in my life. Usually, I would鈥檝e probably had some issues with the art style due to its overly simplicist nature but it didn鈥檛 bother me at all. It fit her narrative so well and was easy on the eyes. The only reason why Persepolis wasn鈥檛 a 5-stars-read for me, is the fact that the last quarter fell completely flat. 3/4 of the book are absolutely charming, witty, humorous and relatable. Marji really got under my skin. However, the last quarter didn鈥檛 pack a punch at all. Her tone got overly preachy at times and the whole narrative was wrapped up way too quickly.
All in all, Persepolis is a hautingly beautiful and personal story about life in Iran (but also about the reality refugees face in Western countries.) I loved Marji鈥檚 honest exploration of timely themes and the insight she gave me into her culture and beliefs.
Favorite Quote: "He sought in me a lost lightheartedness. And I sought in him a war which I had escaped."

My mother left me. I鈥檓 sure that she understood the misery of my isolation. Even if she kept a straight face and gave nothing away. She left me with a bag of affection that sustained me for several months.Marjane Satrapi has repeatedly highlighted, through talks about Persepolis, how significant it is for her audience to perceive her tale as relatable. She seeks sympathy, not for herself, but for the Iranian people and those who suffer. The ambiguous and simplistic style of her comic panels reflects this desire, much contrary to the more traditional style of twentieth century comics.
Any reader could be any of these characters, could sympathize with their personal history, could easily find any one or all of Satrapi鈥檚 experiences relatable on some level. The very artistic rendering of Satrapi鈥檚 graphic memoir permits a creative license on the readers鈥� behalf to visualize as extravagantly as they鈥檇 choose.
I read The Second Sex. Simone explained that if women peed standing up, their perception of life would change. So I tried. It ran lightly down my left leg. It was a little disgusting. Seated, it was much simpler. And, as an Iranian woman, before learning to urinate like a man, I needed to learn to become a liberated and emancipated woman.Satrapi鈥檚 account of the Iranian revolution is told from a unique perspective. She narrates the story from her perspective as a child. She pairs her story with a hand-drawn visual supplement that is reminiscent of a children鈥檚 book. 听Satrapi doesn鈥檛 avoid subjects, but her use of words and image are simplified the way a child would view events. When Satrapi explains the horrific torture that the prisoners of war experience she inserts a childlike perspective: One man was burnt with an iron, and Marjane is pictured looking at the iron her mom is using. The effect of this humanizes horrific events. Also it highlights the unnaturalness of torture by paralleling the intended function of an iron, with its domestic use. This child perspective appeals more to the emotions than political or logistic readers.

A moving memoir about Marjane Satrapi鈥檚 experience as a young girl growing up during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. I enjoyed a lot of the themes in Persepolis, including the power of political activism and staying true to your values, the perniciousness and pervasiveness of sexism, and the destabilizing effects of war on family and community. Satrapi鈥檚 vulnerable sharing about her rough period with mental health 鈥� when she moved to Austria and then moved back 鈥� felt like a compelling account of how immigration and acculturative stress can disrupt the psyche. The most riveting part of Persepolis centered on Satrapi鈥檚 own voice. From her childhood to her early adulthood as a woman, she acted in alignment with her convictions and spoke out even if her beliefs defied societal norms. A courageous woman and journey, detours she took and all.

This was brilliant: a graphic novel depicting the coming-of-age of a young Iranian girl living in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, who is eventually sent to live in Austria for 4 years for her safety. It shows the horrors of living in a war-torn nation, as well as how terrifying it must be to live in a country run by religious fundamentalists/fanatics. The Muslim leaders recruited 14 year old boys in the war effort, closed down schools, targeted intelligent people and women wearing jeans and nail polish...
As a woman, the sexist views of the Islamists made me angry. One panel shows an Islamist on television saying "Women's hair emanates rays that excite men. That's why women should cover their hair." If that isn't the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard :/
This was a very raw and candid portrayal of life. Satrapi didn't really try to sugarcoat anything. I liked the precocious child, Marji, who was trying to understand the world that was going on around her and wasn't scared of questioning the hypocrisies she witnessed. And her self-realization as she tried to determine her identity in Austria and when she went back to Iran and was perceived as an outsider and a worldly woman also held my attention.
It made me think of people,especially children, living in other war-torn places such as Syria, what must they be going through everyday? What must they be witnessing? Torture, death etc? How can someone get over that?
Definitely a must-read for everyone.
Disclaimer: This book isn't anti-Islam, it's anti-fundamentalist. Satrapi mentioned how fundamentalists in every religion are dangerous, and I wholeheartedly agree.

Persepolis is a truly amazing graphic novel....
January 19, 2020
Pers茅polis es ese tipo de libros a los que uno se acerca con miedo. Miedo a causa de la enorme exposici贸n que ha tenido. 驴Valdr谩 la pena? 驴Ser谩 merecida su buena fama? 驴O ser谩 solo buena promoci贸n? Y la respuesta es que merece cada buena cr铆tica. Cada p谩gina es oro.
A trav茅s de la vida de la autora, vamos a hacer un repaso de la historia de su pa铆s, Ir谩n. Empezando por un breve relato de los a帽os de historia que arrastra: su origen como el gran imperio persa, las multiples invasiones de diferentes dinast铆as, las diferentes religiones por las que ha pasado... Hasta llegar a la inestabilidad actual de Ir谩n. El golpe de estado del 79, desemboc贸 en una guerra que dur贸 8 a帽os que trajo consigo el retroceso de la sociedad, y que, como no, afect贸 principalmente a las mujeres. Sin libertad para salir solas, ser tapadas de pies acabeza por un velo, que su val铆a vaya en funci贸n al marido que tengan...
Este c贸mic es una joyita y todo lo que critica y muestra es tan duro, como realista. En primer lugar destaca el machismo. La autora, una fiel defensora de los derechos de la mujer, crece en una familia progresista y durante toda su vida lucha por conseguir esa igualdad que se resiste a llegar. Adem谩s, siendo doblemente valiente, ya que la mujer est谩 en peligro continuo en Ir谩n. Por otra parte, hay una gran cr铆tica a la falta de cumplimiento de los m铆nimos derechos humanos. El poderoso siempre vulnera los derechos del pobre. El clasismo est谩 latente. Hace una descripci贸n bastante acertada y cr铆tica de la religi贸n, o m谩s bien, del uso que la gente le da. Ya sea esta una 谩rabe o cristiana. El fanatismo religioso, es igual de malo sin importar de cual se trate.
Y, adem谩s, una de las cr铆ticas m谩s necesarias y que a occidente m谩s le cuesta admitir y entender es que, los pa铆ses tercermundistas existen, gracias a que los pa铆ses del primer mundo nos aprovechamos de sus recursos y su falta de medios para explotarlos. Para que nosotros seamos ricos, ellos tienen que ser pobres. Y gran parte de las guerras que existen por esos lugares, tienen la marca de occidente. Ellos son los que se lucran. Y me parece super imporante que este c贸mic llegue a todas las manos posibles, para que eso se comprenda de una vez.
En definitiva un pedazo de 5 estrellas, y porque no le puedo poner 50.

There's so much I love about this graphic novel. Persepolis is beautiful and tragic and amusing and emotionally real. It's probably the single best book I read in middle school.
This is so much more than just a politically relevant story. It's a story of a specific teenage girl growing up in 1979-1985 Iran, not of every Iranian woman, and it never tries to be everyone's story. Marjane Satrapi is such an incredible narrator; she has flaws and makes mistakes and she allows her memoir to explore those flaws. It's easy to impress upon her character and follow her growth, even when you disagree with her choices.
This is definitely a standout among graphic novels and literary fiction. Highly recommended.

One of the things I loved about this book was Marjane's very individual voice and how it transformed from the start of the book when she is 10 to the end, when she is 22. Ten-year-old Marjane, by the way, is about the most awesome kid I have encountered in print. She reminded me of Harper Lee's Scout, except Marjane was cuter and more hilarious. Also, more political.
Most readers are unlikely to be really conversant in 20th Iranian political history and it is absolutely fascinating to be introduced to the topic through the eyes of an impressionable child, an emotional teenager and a jaded young adult. Marjane tells her story in an intense, honest, funny and heartbreaking fashion.
The style of art is beautiful and everything is drawn in a kind of a kooky way. I though that the style reinforced that this whole story comes from one young person's distinct point of view. As in all graphic novels, the images are just as potent, if not more, than the plot itself and this is no exception.
"Persepolis" is the best book I can think of to introduce the uninitiated to the world of graphic novels. The subject matter is the polar opposite of the superhero comic stereotype and the intense, skillful storytelling will captivate even the mots doubting reader.
I adored it.

A special thank you to GR friend, Rosh for her various graphic novel recommendations, this one included. Here is Rosh's review: /review/show...
Now鈥 am not saying I am a new fan of graphic novels. I will say that I do like the idea of experiencing storytelling with pictures.
Obviously, I love children鈥檚 books. As an adult, I have found great wisdom between their pages.
And鈥ometimes, it doesn鈥檛 take a lot of words to tell a terrific story, especially if an illustration can show the reader more.
So鈥 am intrigued by graphic novels for this reason.
What message can they convey through their panels?
What can their characters tell a reader in their bubble discussions?
This is my curiosity.
And now鈥n to the review.
This feels like鈥n 鈥渁utobiography鈥� via comic book.
It is my understanding that this is a creative telling of a 鈥渕emoir鈥� and a history of Iran鈥檚 turbulent 20th century politics.
One comic strip frame at a time.
The author鈥檚 protagonist is Marji a sassy, Iranian girl, fighting her elder鈥檚 expectations of her.
Shall we start with the veil?
Or鈥er birth. Her religion. Her family?
She finds her own way in being an independent thinker.
Which鈥or a female, isn鈥檛 really encouraged.
So鈥ow did I really feel about this book? This reading experience?
This is how I saw it鈥�
There are 2 aspects of this graphic novel that defined it.
First鈥� It is a historical novel that depicted several important events in Iranian history, particularly in the 1980s.
Second鈥� It is a coming-of-age story of Marji, our primary character, protagonist.
It is a personal and insightful journey.
It is published in 2 parts 鈥� The story of a childhood and The story of return.
The first part is of 10-year-old Marji and her views of the Islamic Revolution and the overthrow of the Shah and the rise of the Iranian regime, and her having to leave the country for Austria.
It is candid. It is raw. She is unafraid of challenging the hypocrisies she witnessed.
She highlights the horrors of living in a nation divided by war.
And鈥he fundamentalists and religious fanatics who divided the country.
Telling the story in this way shows how comic books can be powerful mediums in conveying important stories.
The second part is her growing up story.
This part of the story was interesting, insightful, humorous and serious. Definitely thought-provoking.
The author has a distinctive voice.
And鈥 can鈥檛 help but recommend this book.
It is truly a鈥orthwhile read.
Thank you again鈥osh.

Second鈥� It is a coming-of-age story of Marji, our primary character, protagonist.
It is a personal and insightful journey.
It is published in 2 parts 鈥� The story of a childhood and The story of return.
The first part is of 10-year-old Marji and her views of the Islamic Revolution and the overthrow of the Shah and the rise of the Iranian regime, and her having to leave the country for Austria.
It is candid. It is raw. She is unafraid of challenging the hypocrisies she witnessed.
She highlights the horrors of living in a nation divided by war.
And鈥he fundamentalists and religious fanatics who divided the country.
Telling the story in this way shows how comic books can be powerful mediums in conveying important stories.
The second part is her growing up story.
This part of the story was interesting, insightful, humorous and serious. Definitely thought-provoking.
The author has a distinctive voice.
And鈥 can鈥檛 help but recommend this book.
It is truly a鈥orthwhile read.
Thank you again鈥osh.

I think this is will be more response than review. Satrapi's Persepolis fulfills its purpose as a memoir, but I will tell you right from the start, that it is indeed overhyped, particularly if you have read the rave critical reviews. Perhaps, since the field of graphic novels as memoirs is relatively new, a work like this could be called ground-breaking. Persepolis as a memoir is an interesting read. I say this only as a result of having read Part Two of this book,
. If I had read
alone, I probably would not have liked this book at all.
As a memoir, her account of her childhood is biased politically. I'm speaking of Iranian politics and social affairs -even history- rather than any foreign policy. Satrapi would like to paint herself as an educated, superior specimen of progressive thought, but to be frank, one can embody all of her views in two words: westernism and nationalism. She worships "punk" and calls her family "avant-garde." She considers herself the very spirit of Iranian society, the last bastion of reason in her country, but she goes to a French school and adopts Western, dress and idols. She does not seem very avant-garde to me. She seems to be the typical Eastern child who envies the Western one. I questioned at times whether she could truly be proud of her heritage-- or simply what she thought to be her heritage. I didn't see that adopting European principles or dress was any more or less admirable than adopting Arab ones. Even when she reads, she reads only foreign philosophers. Her patriotism seems a shell.
This is precisely why I was skeptical-- because any book praised by a mass of American critics generally affirms American values, American superiority (the rest of the world is backwards) and/or American-approved values. Such a work will generally portray a one-sided view of the culture in question, i.e. the approved view, as this one does. In fact, I'm finding there is a slew of Iranian authors jumping on the bandwagon of vilifying Iran (to an all too receptive audience) and glorifying everything Western.
In the introduction, she writes "...this old and great civilization," and I have to wonder which civilization she means since she laments that so much culture has been imposed on Iranians. What is essentially Iranian? Zoroastrianism? She doesn't strike me as Zoroastrian. Satrapi fails to consider the dynamics and nature of culture, to adopt, borrow, and grow. That is progress. Satrapi writes of Iran, it "...has been discussed mostly in connection with fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism. As an Iranian who has lived more than half my life in Iran, I know that this image is far from the truth."
In fact, Satrapi does nothing to negate this view. She simply replaces it with a new paradigm, all religious Iranians are fanatics. The rest adopt Western customs; they're civilized. This is not debunking misperceptions, it's only espousing the latest Western policy: non-religious Easterners are acceptable. She does nothing to help her people here. The book speaks only in the briefest way (a line or two) about American relations, so do not be concerned about any bias in that regard.
So if we call the first part Politics, the second part -the book is really not complete without it- is more honest. In The Story of a Return, she speaks of her experiences as an immigrant in Europe, and these strike me as less politicized and more genuine. As for her return, we know that Satrapi returned only to say goodbye. She is an expatriate in Paris, living the culture that she so worshiped as a child.
That said, as a memoir, this book is pretty interesting and does indeed describe the forces that shaped this woman. The iconic, stylized, almost childlike art cushions the narrative, so that the political content is less threatening. It's cute. And it suits the tone of the book, which is fanciful and ostensibly a protest against a black and white world (though Satrapi is a little rigid herself).
It's worth a read if you have some spare time. It was better than I expected after reading the first half, but it won't be on my Best Of list anytime soon.

4.5/5
My first memories of Iraq and Iran consist of mixing the names up, having nothing more than the vague knowledge from television talkers that someone was fighting someone and we, the United States, were fighting everyone. Persia was where my best friend in first grade was from, a place she once told me didn't exist anymore before she changed schools in third grade and we completely lost contact with each other. The intervening years between then and now filled up with reports of war and terrorism and an overwhelming fear mongering, leaving me with the feeling I was being force fed bullshit at such an insidious level that I couldn't even trust myself to seek out the least poisoned method of discovering the other side of the story. Since upgrading the status of literature in my life from hobby to livelihood, I've had more time to get down to the bottom of Introduction to Iran 101 - Autodidact Style entry on the neverending Lit bucket list, and I have to say, I can't imagine a better way than this book.
Graphic novel, really, but with on the 1001 Books to Read Before You Die list and regularly touted as a modern classic, the faster the academic niches of capital L Literature come to terms with the more than capable qualities of the Graphic Novel in terms of Meaning and Importance and yadda yadda yadda, the better. Three hundred years ago it was the novel in Europe, two millenia ago it was the writing things down in general in Greece,, and really, if you can find a memoir that is erudite as it is hilarious as it is heartbreaking as it is politically conscious in a social justice manner as it is life affirming as it is of a country that has for decades been horrendously misconstrued six ways to Sunday by the United States as this one, please, let me know.

Member of the Guardians of the Revolution (MGR): Madam, why were you running?One of the first popular conceptions that comes to my mind when I think on Iran is how bad the women in that country have it. Now, the Wikipedia page for Rape culture states: According to Michael Parenti, rape culture manifests through the acceptance of rapes as an everyday occurrence, and even a male prerogative. It can be exacerbated by police apathy in handling rape cases, as well as victim blaming, reluctance by the authorities to go against patriarchial cultural norms, as well as fears of stigmatization from rape victims and their families. That description is the United States, complete with dress codes, lack of sexual education regarding consent, incidents such as Steubenville and statistics such as 1 in 5 women in universities have been raped at some point during their enrollment. This commentary has nothing to do xenophobia of the civilized countries of the so called West, or with Iran consisting of all kinds of people worn down by death and fear and love of their homeland and culture being controlled by Persian fundamentalists, or the CIA's involvement in taking down countries so as to slake the US's lust for oil, or the fundamental differences between Iran and Iraq and Kuwait and all those other countries media crews love to lump together and poke at, but it does have to do with my basis for relating with Marjane and her growth from child to adult. In comparison to the big picture of her story, it's not much, but it is enough to get me off my commonly accepted high horse of US superiority and start listening.
Marjane: I'm very late! I was running to catch my bus.
MGR: Yes..but...when you run, your behind makes movements that are...how do you say...obscene!
Marjane: WELL THEN DON'T LOOK AT MY ASS!
I yelled so loudly that they didn't even arrest me.
Marjane: 'I don't want to leave the country right away.'It's a crying shame that it took me this long to read a work that wonderfully cuts to the heart of that vague sensationalism that is the US's treatment of the Middle East. It's an even greater shame that this sort of work is a rare breed in the field of public perception. However, while it may have taken me the length of my own path from childhood to adulthood to experience a good introduction to the reality of things, a start in the right direction is a start.
Reza: 'It's because you are still nostalgic. You'll see, a year from now people will disgust you. Always interfering in things that don't concern them.'
Marjane: 'Maybe so, but in the West you can collapse in the street and no one will give you a hand.'
