{"product_id":"persepolis-2-9780224074407","title":"Persepolis 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to Persepolis , Marjane Satrapi's memoir-in-comic strips of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis ended on a cliffhanger in 1984, just as fourteen-year-old Marjane was leaving behind her home in Tehran, escaping fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere we follow our young, intrepid heroine through the next eight years of her life: an eye-opening and sometimes lonely four years of high school in Vienna, followed by a supremely educational and heartwrenching four years back home in Iran. Just as funny and heartbreaking as its predecessor - with perhaps an even greater sense of the ridiculous inspired by life in a fundamentalist state - Persepolis 2 is also as clear-eyed and searing in its condemnation of fundamentalism and its cost to the human spirit. In its depiction of the universal trials of adolescent life and growing into adulthood - here compounded by being an outsider both abroad and at home, and by living in a state where you have no right to show your hair, wear make-up, run in public, date, or question authority - it's raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Marjane Satrapi\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutobiography: general\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 26 Aug 2004 by Vintage Publishing.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marjane Satrapi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319728316794,"sku":"9780224074407","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780224074407.jpg?v=1790633619","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/pl\/products\/persepolis-2-9780224074407","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
