Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi'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.
"A stunning graphic memoir...a wholly original achievement in the form." The New York Times
Persepolis is the story of Satrapi'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 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.
Edgy, searingly observant, and candid, often heartbreaking but threaded throughout with raw humor and hard-earned wisdom Persepolis is a stunning work from one of the most highly regarded, singularly talented graphic artists at work today.

„Persepolis“ von
Marjane Satrapi
Da hasten Verfolger mit Käppi und Schlagstock die Treppe hinauf. Einem Mann hinterher, der über die Dächer flieht, von Haus zu Haus springt, bis er fällt, fast meint man, ihn nach dem Mond greifen zu sehen, bevor er stürzt. Dieser Albtraum – ein Freund wird von Polizisten zu Tode gehetzt, weil er verbotenerweise zusammen mit Frauen auf einer Party war – wird von Marjane Satrapi als Abfolge von Scherenschnitten gezeichnet. Das rennende, ins Leere springende Männchen ist winzig und ohne Individualität, wie bei einem Piktogramm. Auf dem letzten Bild ist nur der Mond über dem Schacht zwischen zwei Häusern zu sehen. Und in diesem leeren, fast schon abstrakten Bild können sich Entsetzen und Sprachlosigkeit ausbreiten. Die Annäherung an etwas so Ungeheuerliches funktioniert nur aus der Distanz.
Art Spiegelman hatte es vorgemacht in seinem Holocaust-Comic „Maus“, wie man vom Unbeschreiblichen erzählen kann mit den Mitteln des Comics. Marjane Satrapi hat in „Persepolis“ ihre eigene Kindheit und Jugend im postrevolutionären Iran nach-erfunden, so grimmig komisch, herzergreifend und vor allem für Leser aus dem Westen erhellend, dass ihr 2000 bis 2003 erschienenes Buch ein internationaler Bestseller wurde und die immer noch anhaltende Erfolgsgeschichte der Graphic Novels begründete.
Schlicht, ja beinahe naiv wirken die Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen der 1969 geborenen Exiliranerin, die mittlerweile in Paris lebt. Sie bilden einen reizvollen Kontrast zu den historischen Großereignissen, von denen Satrapi erzählt, Islamische Revolution und Iran-Irak-Krieg, vor allem aber geben sie das Befremden der jungen Marjane wieder, angesichts der Geschehnisse in ihrem Land. Je bizarrer oder grauenvoller es wurde, desto holzschnittartiger hat sie gezeichnet. Und das Ganze mit einem Witz versehen, der befreiend sein kann, aber auch unerbittlich. Dabei trägt der Tugendterror der Revolutionswächter die Satire schon in sich, wenn etwa Kunststudentinnen in der Anatomie-Klasse eine vollverschleierte Frau zeichnen sollen oder der (mittlerweile erwachsenen) Marjane das Rennen auf der Straße von Sittenwächtern verboten wird: „Wenn Sie rennen, macht Ihr Hinterteil Bewegungen . . . nun . . . unkeusche Bewegungen!“ Was Marjane zu dem Ausruf treibt: „Dann glotzt mir doch nicht auf den Arsch!“
Indem Schleierzwang und Märtyrerverehrung in eine Coming-of-age-Geschichte eingebettet werden, macht „Persepolis“ ein Land erlebbar, das als Schurkenstaat galt (und manchen immer noch gilt), dessen Alltag im Westen aber nahezu unbekannt ist. Und Marjane ist eine Heldin nach unserem Geschmack: eigensinnig und rebellisch, auch im europäischen Exil, in das sie 14-jährig geht, weil ihre Eltern um die Sicherheit des aufmüpfigen Mädchens fürchten. In Wien aber hält Marjanes entsetztes Staunen an, und Satrapis Schwarzweißmalerei wird zum Ausdruck einer unauflösbaren Fremdheit, zur Zeichensprache des Exils.

Praise for Persepolis: Volume 1
A New York Times Notable Book A Time Magazine Best Comix of the Year A San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times Best Seller
"A memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran, Persepolis provides a unique glimpse into a nearly unknown and unreachable way of life.... That Satrapi chose to tell her remarkable story as a gorgeous comic book makes it totally unique and indispensable." Time
Delectable... Dances with drama and insouciant wit. The New York Times Book Review
A stunning graphic memoir hailed as a wholly original achievement in the form. There s still a startling freshness to the book. It won t age. In inky shadows and simple, expressive lines reminiscent of Ludwig Bemelmans s Madeline Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances ... A stark, shocking impact. Parul Sehgal, The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years The New York Times
A dazzlingly singular achievement.... Striking a perfect balance between the fantasies and neighborhood conspiracies of childhood and the mounting lunacy of Khomeini's reign, she's like the Persian love child of Spiegelman and Lynda Barry. Salon
A brilliant and unusual graphic memoir.... [Told] in a guileless voice ... accompanied by a series of black-and-white drawings that dramatically illustrate how a repressive regime deforms ordinary lives. Vogue
"Odds are, you ll be too busy being entertained to realize how much you ve learned until you turn the last page. Elle.com
[A] self-portrait of the artist as a young girl, rendered in graceful black-and-white comics that apply a childlike sensibility to the bleak lowlights of recent Iranian history. . . . [Her] style is powerful; it persuasively communicates confusion and horror through the eyes of a precocious preteen. Village Voice
Praise for Persepolis: Volume 2
"Wildly charming ... Like a letter from a friend, in this case a wonderful friend: honest, strong-willed, funny, tender, impulsive, and self-aware."
The New York Times Book Review
"The most original coming-of-age story from the Middle East yet."
People
"Elegant, simple panels tell this story of growth, loneliness, and homecoming with poignant charm and wit."
The Washington Post
"Humorous and heartbreaking ... A welcome look beind the headlines and into the heart and mind of one very wise, wicked, and winning young woman."
Elle
"Every revolution needs a chronicler like Satrapi."
San Francisco Chronicle
"It is our good fortune that Satrapi has never stopped visiting Iran in her mind."
Newsweek
"Persepolis 2 is much more than the chronicle of a young woman s struggle into adulthood; it s a brilliant, painful, rendering of the contrast between East and West, between the repression of wartime Iran and the social, political, and sexual freedoms of 1980 s Austria. There s something universal about Satrapi s search for self-definition, but her experiences in Vienna and Tehran are rendered with such witty particularity, and such heartbreaking honesty, that by the end of this book you ll feel you ve gained an intimate friend."
