<p><b>Wise, often funny, sometimes heart-breaking, <i>Persepolis</i> tells the story of Marjane Satrapi's life in Tehran from the ages of six to fourteen, growing up during the Iranian Revolution.</b><br><br>The intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran's last emperor, Satrapi bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. <i>Persepolis</i> paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life.<br><br>Amidst the tragedy, Marjane's child's eye view adds immediacy and humour, and her story of a childhood at once outrageous and ordinary, beset by the unthinkable and yet buffered by an extraordinary and loving family, is immensely moving.<br><br><b>'The magic of Marjane Satrapi's work is that it can condense a whole country's tragedy into one poignant, funny scene after another' <i>Independent on Sunday</i></b><br><br><b>**ONE OF THE <i>GUARDIAN</i>'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**</b></p>
