Persepolis is an autobiography by Marjane Satrapi that narrates her life in Tehran during the Iranian revolution of 1979 and the establishment of an Islamic government. The work describes how the families of the country lived through these changes, from the imposition of the veil and the separation of sexes in schools to the student revolts and university life. Satrapi offers a critical view of the government and explores the historical motivations of the Islamic revolution, going back to her ancestors. This integral edition compiles the four original volumes, along with color pages published in magazines, and has been adapted to film, receiving awards such as the Critics Award at Cannes and the César Award for best adapted screenplay.
