Book Summary:
Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi is a powerful and deeply personal graphic novel that tells the story of the author’s childhood and adolescence in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Through striking black-and-white illustrations, Satrapi depicts her experiences growing up in a country undergoing dramatic political and social upheaval. The story captures her struggles with identity, freedom, and faith as she witnesses the fall of the Shah, the rise of the Islamic regime, and the devastating Iran-Iraq War. With honesty, humor, and emotional depth, Persepolis portrays how oppressive systems affect everyday lives, especially those of women and children. Beyond its historical context, the book is a universal coming-of-age story about resilience, family, and the search for individuality amid turmoil. Persepolis stands as a landmark work in both graphic literature and memoir, blending political insight with moving personal storytelling.

About the Author:
Marjane Satrapi is an Iranian-born French author, illustrator, filmmaker, and graphic novelist. Born in 1969 in Rasht, Iran, she grew up in Tehran during a time of great political unrest. After studying in Europe, she settled in France, where she began her career as an artist and writer. Persepolis, her debut work, brought her international acclaim for its candid portrayal of Iranian life and its innovative use of the graphic novel format. The book was later adapted into an Oscar-nominated animated film, which Satrapi co-directed. Her other works include Embroideries and Chicken with Plums, both of which also explore themes of culture, memory, and identity. Satrapi’s art and storytelling continue to inspire readers around the world for their courage, wit, and humanism.
