Persepolis tells the life of the author, Marjane Satapri, a journey from childhood spent in Iran to adulthood; on the one hand, Persepolis speaks above all of Iran, of the evolution and changes that this country has undergone since the Islamic revolution, seen first through the eyes of a child and then of a woman; but it also talks about Europe, the "Western" world observed by a teenager forced to leave her country and an oppressive dictatorship, especially against women. A book that offers a different point of view from that of Western history books or chronicles on the period of the revolution or the period immediately after the Iran-Iraq conflict.
