<b>Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi&#39;s best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up as a girl in Iran during the revolution has for twenty years been a classroom staple, a feminist manifesto, and one of the most popular and widely known graphic novels of all time. </b> <p/><b>\"A stunning graphic memoir...a wholly original achievement in the form.\"</b> --<b><i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/><i>Persepolis</i> is the story of Satrapi&#39;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<b>--</b>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. <p/>Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom<b>--</b><i>Persepolis</i> is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.
