Persepolis I & II

The Complete Persepolis Volumes I & II is Marjane Satrapi’s graphic memoir over growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War. Told in comic-strip form, it follows a child who is both shaped by and entangled in history and politics, within a family that is at once outrageous and ordinary. The narrative blends tragedy with warmth, humor with heartbreak, and is celebrated for condensing a nation’s upheaval into intimate, unforgettable scenes. Translated by Anjali Singh, this edition presents Satrapi’s stark, perceptive storytelling in a powerful, accessible format. The work has earned recognition as one of the Guardian’s 100 best books of the 21st century, underscoring its enduring impact and relevance.

The collection combines The Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return, offering a complete arc of formative years and the subsequent consequences of exile and homecoming. It sits within the Vintage classics line, and is published in a paperback edition.
