Persepolis: Volume 1: The Story Of An Iranian Childhood (Hardcover)
|
'Persepolis' is an exemplary autobiographical graphic novel, in the tradition of Art Spiegelman's classic 'Maus'. Set in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, it follows the young Satrapi, the six-year-old daughter of two committed and well-to-do Marxists. As she grows up, she witnesses first-hand the effects that the revolution and the war with Iraq have on her home, family and school.
