Marjane Satrapi's memoir 'Persepolis' unfolds her deeply personal journey amid the tumult of Iran's Islamic Revolution. Crafted in stark yet expressive black-and-white illustrations, Satrapi recounts her experiences from age six to fourteen during a time of profound social upheaval. As the daughter of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of Iran’s last emperor, she gives us an intimate child’s-eye view of a changing world. From witnessing the fall of the Shah’s regime to the onset of war with Iraq, Satrapi's narrative is both a vivid account of Iranian history and a touching tale of growing up. Through laughter, tears, and the absurdity of daily life under a repressive regime, she presents a tale that is intensely personal, politically charged, and universally human – all seen through the innocent yet insightful eyes of a young girl.
