Winner, ALA ALEX Award An urgent, groundbreaking and visually stunning new collection of graphic storytelling about the present Iranian revolution, using comics to show what would be censored in photos and film in Iran. Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, returns to graphic art with this collaboration of over 20 activists, artists, journalists, and academics working together to depict the historic uprising, in solidarity with the Iranian people and in defense of feminism. On September 13th 2022, a young Iranian student, Mahsa Amini, was arrested by the morality police in Tehran. Her only crime was that she wasn't properly wearing the headscarf required for women by the Islamic Republic. At the police station, she was beaten so badly she had to be taken to the hospital, where she fell into a deep coma. She died three days later. A wave of protests soon spread through the whole country, and crowds adopted the slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom"--words that have been chanted around the world during solidarity rallies. In order to tell the story of this major revolution happening in her homeland, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together an array of journalists, activists, academics, artists, and writers from around the world to create this powerful collection of full-color, graphic-novel-style essays and perspectives that bear witness: Contributing artists: Joann Sfar, Coco, Mana Neyastani, Catel, Pascal Rabate, Patricia Bolanos, Paco Roca, Bahareh Akrami, Hippolyte, Shabnam Adiban, Lewis Trondheim, Winshluss, Touka Neyastani, Bee, Deloupy, Nicolas Wild, and Marjane Satrapi.3 expert perspectives on Iran: long-time journalist for Lib ration and political scientist Jean-Pierre Perrin; researcher and Iran specialist Farid Vahid; and UC Berkeley historian Abbas Milani, Director of the Iranian Studies program at Stanford University.Woman, Life, Freedom demonstrates that this is not an unexpected movement, but a major uprising in a long history of women who have wanted to affirm their rights. It will continue.

Marjane Satrapi har laget en selvbiogra. i tegneserieform, en klok, morsom og hjerteskjærende fortelling om å vokse opp i Iran. I kraftfulle svarthvitt-tegninger forteller Satrapi om da sjahen ble styrtet, om den islamske revolusjonens seier, og om de forferdelige tapene under krigen mot Irak. Som enebarn av intellektuelle og politisk bevisste foreldre, og oldebarn av en av Irans siste keisere, er Marjanes barndom knyttet til landets historie på en helt spesiell måte. Fjorten år gammel blir Marjane sendt alene til Østerrike, men sliter med å finne en tilhørighet. Hun reiser hjem til Iran etter .re år, og blir der konfrontert med forandringene som har skjedd både i hennes hjemland og i henne selv. Marjane finner etterhvert likesinnede venner, og studerer kunst på universitetet. Men hun begynner å tvile på om det er en framtid i Iran. Persepolis viser med humor og alvor et uforglemmelig bilde av daglig-livet i Iran: de absurde motsetningene mellom det private og offentlige livet, og prøvelsene forbundet med politisk undertrykkelse. Marjanes opplevelser av detroniserte herskere, revolusjonsgardister og revolusjonshelter lar oss lære med henne om dette fascinerende landets historie. Persepolis er et dypt personlig, politisk og originalt verk - rått, ærlig og svært lærerikt. Marjane Satrapi er født i 1969 i Rasht i Iran. Hun vokste opp i Teheran hvor hun gikk på fransk skole før hun reiste til Wien og siden til Strasbourg for å stude-re illustrasjon. Hun bor i Paris. Persepolis ble en stor suksess i Frankrike og resten av verden, og er en av de store klassikerne i moderne tegne-serielitteratur. En bok som på mange måter forandret hvordan man ser på tegne-serier, en bok det undervises i og som stadig figurerer på lister over de beste tegneserie-bøkene. Den kom opprinnelig ut i fire album i årene 2000-2004, og er her samlet komplett i ett bind. Persepolis ble filmatisert i 2007, Marjane Satrapi var selv regissør sammen med Vincent Paronnaud.

And as the pieces of his story fall into place, we begin to understand the breadth of his decision to let go of life. The poignant story of one man, it is also stunningly universal--a luminous tale of life and death, and the courage and passion both require of us.

An attractive boxed set of Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up as a girl in revolutionary Iran "A wholly original achievement.... Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances.... A stark, shocking impact." --The New York Times: "The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years" Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane 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. Marjane's child's-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love. Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return Here is the continuation of Marjane Satrapi's fascinating story. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging. Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up--here compounded by Marjane's status as an outsider both abroad and at home--it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.
