Persepolis with delivery to Ireland

One of the best-known and most widely acclaimed graphic novels in the world! "Persepolis" is a resounding voice of protest against a religious regime imposed by force. In this autobiography in comic form, Marjane Satrapi shows the beginning of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, her several years' stay in Vienna and her return to her country. Persepolis is a universal work, full of remarkably astute observations and images, tinged with humour as well as irony and nostalgia. What saves it from pathos, however, is the author's sense of detachment, which works wonderfully with the black-and-white, often symbolic illustrations. "Persepolis" received the award for best screenplay of the year at the International Comics Festival in Angoulême, and in 2007 an animated adaptation of the comic of the same title was made, which was nominated for an Oscar. Marjane Satrapi is a comics and children's book author, film director and columnist. She lives in Paris.
