persepolis

Here is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi''s memoir-in-comic strips of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis ended on a cliffhanger in 1984, just as fourteen-year-old Marjane was leaving behind her home in Tehran, escaping fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in the West. Here we follow our young, intrepid heroine through the next eight years of her life: an eye-opening and sometimes lonely four years of high school in Vienna, followed by a supremely educational and heartwrenching four years back home in Iran. Just as funny and heartbreaking as its predecessor - with perhaps an even greater sense of the ridiculous inspired by life in a fundamentalist state - Persepolis 2 is also as clear-eyed and searing in its condemnation of fundamentalism and its cost to the human spirit. In its depiction of the universal trials of adolescent life and growing into adulthood - here compounded by being an outsider both abroad and at home, and by living in a state where you have no right to show your hair, wear make-up, run in public, date, or question authority - it''s raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

BEST SELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.“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"In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age 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.

Kniha - autor Marjane Satrapiová, 344 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Souborné vydání autobiografického příběhu, v němž se s autorkou přenesete do jejího dětství a dospívání, do doby islámské revoluce v Íránu a do doby, kdy její vlast válčila s Irákem. Persepolis je první íránský komiks všech dob… i když napsaný a nakreslený v Paříži. Ve Francii žijící, ale v Íránu narozená autorka nás nejdříve provede svým dětstvím stráveným v Teheránu za doby islámské revoluce a války s Irákem a dále líčí svůj pobyt na francouzském gymnáziu ve Vídni, následný návrat do vlasti, poslední pokus sžít se s režimem, který nemůže mít pro samostatné osobnosti jejího typu, navíc ženského pohlaví, pražádné pochopení, a svůj definitivní odchod do Francie. Zatímco hlavním tématem první části byl život v totalitním režimu, ve druhé je jím tedy to, jak se člověk v takovém režimu vychovaný vyrovnává s náhle nabytou svobodou: tedy další téma, které mnozí Češi důvěrně znají.
