CHOSEN BY EMMA WATSON FOR 'OUR SHARED SHELF' FEMINIST BOOK CLUB

The Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return

The intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran's last emperor, Satrapi 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. This is a beautiful and intimate story full of tragedy and humour - raw, honest and incredibly illuminating.

3.0 out of 5 stars so small..
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is specifically about the paperback edition; I admit it's my fault not to read in detail the size specifications of the book before buying, but at US$17.75, almost the same price as the separate Pantheon Graphic Hardcover editions, I assumed it would be of a similar size or appearance. For my surprise, the book is very small, at 5.08 x 1.02 x 7.8 inches; for such a price, I would have expected at least a similar size to the Hardcover. Again, my mistake. But buyer beware: those building a library, and specially looking for nice looking, big graphic novels, I think a Hardcover version, even if separated in book 1 and book 2, is a much better investment. I learned my lesson to always read the book-size for next time. I'll try to sell this tiny version and get those instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, inspiring (maybe too small..)
Reviewed in Italy on November 9, 2023

The book was delivered according to expectation, and is perfect.
Autobiography story of Marjane Satrapi, in the form of graphic novel.
It also gives an insight into the story of the Persia, from ancient times to Iran, focussing on the revolution and the matter leading to the author's escape.
The book is Black/white, with the typical trait of the author, personally I like it much.
What I did not like was the absolute dimension of the book: larger pages would make the reading more pleasant, and easy to catch some details.
All in all, great reading!

How to describe the horrors of a dictature, a war, a forced emigration while you are growing up… The author does this in a so heartwarming and empowered way that it makes you want to know more.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 10, 2022

This is a stupendous book. I was recommended it by a friend who knew of my interest in black and white sequential art and it blew me away. Its deceptively simply drawn and scripted panels are the autobiography of an Iranian woman whose story imparts far more about life in and the history of Iran than I already knew.
This poignant, tragic and frequently funny book could - and should- be read by everyone from a teenager to a mature reader. Highly recommended.
