New Releases by Marjane Satrapi

An urgent, groundbreaking and visually stunning new collection of graphic story-telling about the present Iranian revolution, using comics to show what would be censored in photos and film in Iran. Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, returns to graphic art with this collaboration of over 20 activists, artists, journalists, and academics working together to depict the historic uprising, in solidarity with the Iranian people and in defense of feminism. On September 13th 2022, a young Iranian student, Mahsa Amini, was arrested by the morality police in Tehran. Her only crime was that she wasn’t properly wearing the headscarf required for women by the Islamic Republic. At the police station, she was beaten so badly she had to be taken to the hospital, where she fell into a deep coma. She died three days later. A wave of protests soon spread through the whole country, and crowds adopted the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom”—words that have been chanted around the world during solidarity rallies. In order to tell the story of this major revolution happening in her homeland, Marjane Satrapi has gathered together an array of journalists, activists, academics, artists, and writers from around the world to create this powerful collection of full-color, graphic-novel-style essays and perspectives that bear witness: Contributing artists: Joann Sfar, Coco, Mana Neyastani, Catel, Pascal Rabate, Patricia Bolanos, Paco Roca, Bahareh Akrami, Hippolyte, Shabnam Adiban, Lewis Trondheim, Winshluss, Touka Neyastani, Bee, Deloupy, Nicolas Wild, and Marjane Satrapi. 3 expert perspectives on Iran: long-time journalist for Libération and political scientist Jean-Pierre Perrin; researcher and Iran specialist Farid Vahid; and UC Berkeley historian Abbas Milani, Director of the Iranian Studies program at Stanford University. Woman, Life, Freedom demonstrates that this is not an unexpected movement, but a major uprising in a long history of women who have wanted to affirm their rights. It will continue.

CHOSEN BY EMMA WATSON FOR ''OUR SHARED SHELF'' FEMINIST BOOK CLUB The Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return 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.

Teheran. La piccola Marjane, a 9 anni ha già sviluppato un carattere ribelle e anticonformista che le fa rifiutare le rigide regole della società iraniana. Preoccupati per l''incolumità della figlia, i genitori di Marjane, quando lei compie 14 anni, decidono di mandarla a studiare in Austria. L''esperienza austriaca è per Marjane piuttosto traumatica a causa della sua identificazione, agli occhi degli altri, proprio con quel mondo fatto di estremismo e fondamentalismo religioso cui lei si è ribellata. Alla fine della scuola, dopo una serie di forti delusioni, il richiamo verso le sue radici e la sua famiglia la spinge a tornare in Iran. Tuttavia, anche il reinserimento a Teheran si dimostra piuttosto difficile e Marjane continua a portare avanti la sua battaglia contro l''ipocrisia della società iraniana di cui è testimone fino ad arrivare alla difficile scelta di abbandonare il suo paese per trasferirsi in Francia, dove poter condurre finalmente una vita senza vincoli e regole, senza però rinnegare il suo essere iraniana.

A MEMOIR OF GROWING UP AS A GIL IN REVOLUTIONARY IRAN, PERSEPOLISE PRIVIDES A UNIQUEGLIMPLSE INTO A NEARLY UNKNOWN AND UNREACHABLE WAY OF LIFE.

When Marie brings the moon into her bedroom, it scares away the monsters who have tormented her but also causes problems which only the village cats can help solve.

Persépolis es la autobiografía de Marjane Satrapi, una mujer iraní nacida en Teherán en 1969 en el seno de una familia progresista. Pero, además del retrato de la vida de la autora, también es el reflejo de la revolución iraní de 1979 que dio lugar a un gobierno islámico y de cómo lo vivieron las familias del país. Desde el inicio, con la introducción del velo en la vida social y la separación por sexos en las escuelas, hasta la vida universitaria y las revueltas estudiantiles, Satrapi hace un repaso a su vida que se remonta a sus antepasados, ayudándonos a entender las motivaciones históricas de la revolución islámica, mostrándonos a la vez una opinión crítica con el gobierno. Inicialmente publicado en cuatro volúmenes, la presente edición los recopila todos en un solo volumen, junto con nuevas páginas a color publicadas en la revista SZ-Magazin, no 44, en el año 2003, y el El País Semanal aquí en España. Publicada en castellano y catalán.

En palabras de la propia autora... “Mi motivación no ha sido escribir sobre mi vida, es la historia de mi país, lo que pasó allí durante mi infancia, sobre la situación política que allí se vivió.” “Tengo un fuerte sentido de la justicia. Y eso pasa desde intervenir en el súper porque una clienta le hable mal a la cajera, hasta reflejar en un libro la historia de mi país.” Los medios dicen... “Satrapi se ha convertido en un símbolo de la lucha contra las injusticias y las barbaries del integrismo islámico.” Qué leer “Una joya iraní.” El Periódico “Su espíritu atrevido e innovador es el motor de la actual renovación del cómic.” El País

The fascinating continuation of the best-selling Persepolis, “one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day” (Los Angeles Times). Marjane Satrapi dazzles with her heartrending graphic memoir about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging. Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran. As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up—here compounded by Marjane’s status as an outsider both abroad and at home—it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.
