{"product_id":"persepolis-2","title":"Persepolis 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to Persepolis, Marjane Satrapis 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. Here 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 - its raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crosswordbooks.uae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42137601278027,"sku":"BK0006360","price":88.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/4877\/3707\/files\/71mitLKcGzL._SL1396.jpg?v=1770795556","url":"https:\/\/crosswordbooks.ae\/products\/persepolis-2","provider":"Crossword Dubai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
