Here, in one volume: Marjane Satrapi's best-selling, internationally acclaimed graphic memoir.

Persepolis is the story of Satrapi's unforgettable childhood and coming of age within a large and loving family in Tehran during the Islamic Revolution; of the contradictions between private life and public life in a country plagued by political upheaval; of her high school years in Vienna facing the trials of adolescence far from her family; of her homecoming--both sweet and terrible; and, finally, of her self-imposed exile from her beloved homeland. It is the chronicle of a girlhood and...

Tells the story of Marjane Satrapi's life in Tehran from the ages of six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. This title paints a portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life.

'Persepolis' ended in a cliffhanger in 1984, just as 14 year old Marjane was leaving behind her home in Tehran, escaping fundamentalism and the war in Iraq to begin a new life in the West. Here we follow her through the next eight years of her life - four years in Vienna, and four years back in Iran.

In November 1955, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's celebrated tar players, is in search of a new instrument. His beloved tar has been broken. He decides that life is no longer worth living. He takes to his bed, renouncing the world and all of its pleasures. This book presents the story of the eight days he spends preparing to surrender his soul.

'Embroideries' gathers together many of the women in Marjane Satrapi's life - family, friends and neighbours - for an afternoon of tea-drinking and talking, during which the women reminisce and reflect on the realities of sexuality and marriage in Iranian society.
