## Description

Persepolis I & II : Satrapi, Marjane: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Immensely loved this book - “In every religion, you find the same extremists. Once again, I arrived at my usual conclusion: one must educate oneself.” ― Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. . #NadirasPointOfReview: What a kickstart to 2017! Three reading goals in one book: Memoir (my fave genre), Ethnic story by an ethnic writer (from and based in Iran), Graphic Novel (my very first!). Immensely loved this book. It's the story of the author and her childhood during the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Marjane then proceeds to escape to Vienna for a better life... only to return to Iran after 4 years... The book was released into 4 volumes. However, I bought The Complete Persepolis which had all of it together. I recommend to buy this one, instead of separate volumes. . Cons: The politics bit went above my head at times. The font maybe a lil tiny for some people. Author's viewpoints, Iran's internal policies DO NOT represent Islam. Islam is not an extreme religion. It's the fanatics and extremists who make it so. In a religion followed by 1 billion out of worlds' total 6 billion population...the extremists make up a small %. So plz dont judge it by its people. Judge it by its Quranic teachings. . Pros: The comic-strip adaptation was an excellent way of conveying this poignant story. Breezy page-turner. Perfectly suitable for readers like me with short attention span. Very humorous at times. Adorable yet perfect expressions in the graphics. Serious and sad story. Author fearlessly expresses her viewpoints without withholding anything back. 500 pgs full of words and prose sometimes fail to convey a story as well as 300pgs of comic strip can! I found tears rolling down my eyes at some points. Marjane's cool & supportive parents and grandparents are so lovable too. Very entertaining eye-opener. Highly recommend it! 5-stars. follow me on instagram @nadirasworld
Review: Captivating illustrations - very engaging

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engrossing Pictographic Novel
*by A***A on 15 January 2022*

“The story of a Childhood and The story of a return” – the tagline sounds enticing and made me pick up the book to read. This is a semi-autobiographical novel that focuses on the authors’ personal journey giving an insight into the lives of people living in a war-torn country. Well-illustrated this book is deceptively simple which keeps the reader engrossed. When I picked up this book, I had no idea it would result in the churning of my thoughts. Little did I know that the whimsical drawings would be a moving account of a spirited young girl who grew up in revolutionary wartime Iran only to leave the country and then return. Laced with humour, it tends to camouflage the seriousness and rich complexity of the story. Funny and tragic, light-hearted yet intense – it is not preachy as one would expect it to be. The author has ably shown the contrasts that exist in a person’s life – tradition with modernism, Iranian to European. It paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran – it condenses a whole country’s tragedy into one poignant scene after another. A story of humour, compassion, and heartbreaks. No wonder it has been translated into 12 languages.
