Persepolis

Marjane Satrapi

Service95 Recommends Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. Relive the history of Tehran from the late 1970s to the early 1980s through the eyes of a child in this graphic novel. Discover Persepolis and other reviews with Service95 Recommends.

What We Say: Satrapi uses simple illustrations to convey a powerful message in response to the West's dehumanisation of Iranian people. Her work covers major events from the Islamic revolution, fundamentalist regime, and Iran-Iraq war through the eyes of a child, empowering future generations with knowledge about the challenges faced by the Iranian people.

What They Say: “Satrapi's deceptively simple, almost whimsical drawings belie the seriousness and rich complexity of her story – but it’s also very funny too” - Emma Watson
