About the Book: Persepolis
Persepolis is the international best-selling graphic novel memoir by Marjane
Satrapi. Persepolis is the story of growing up in war torn Iran, from the
Islamic Revolution to the beginnings of the Iran-Iraq war and an adolescence
spent in Vienna far away from everything the author held dear-her family, her
friends, her homeland. In turns both poignant and hilarious, it tells the story
of a girl trapped between worlds: the one she left behind in Iraq and the one
she was forced to flee to in Austria. It is a tale of the uncertainty of where
one belongs, of where to call home.
