内容简介
······
In Persepolis, heralded by the Los Angeles Times as “one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day,” Marjane Satrapi dazzled us with her heartrending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Here is the continuation of her fascinating story.
In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging.
Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran.
As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up—here compounded by Marjane’s status as an outsider both abroad and at home—it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.
作者简介
······
Marjane Satrapi, (born 1969, Rasht, Iran), Iranian artist, director, and writer whose graphic novels explore the gaps and the junctures between East and West.
Satrapi was the only child of Westernized parents; her father was an engineer and her mother a clothing designer. She grew up in Tehrān, where she attended the Lycée Français. After the Iranian Revolution of 1979, her family’s Western way of life drew the attention of Iranian authorities, and by 1984 her parents had decided to send her to Austria to attend school. A failed relationship there exacerbated her sense of alienation and contributed to a downward spiral that left her homeless and using drugs. She returned to Tehrān at age 19, studied art, and, after a short-lived marriage, moved back to Europe in 1993. In France she earned a degree in art, and by the mid-1990s she was living permanently in Paris.
Satrapi published the books Persepolis 1 (2000) and Persepolis 2 (2001) in France; they were combined as Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood when translated into English in 2003. In Persepolis she used a stripped-down visual style that shows the influence of German Expressionism to tell the story of her childhood in Tehrān. It is a story that Western readers found at once familiar—a restive adolescent who loves Nike shoes and rock music—and foreign—she is stopped and threatened with arrest for wearing those shoes as she walks through a city damaged by bombing raids during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88). Sometimes described as a graphic memoir, Persepolis melds the format of a graphic novel with a prose-only memoir. Satrapi adapted her book as a film, also called Persepolis (2007), which was nominated for an Academy Award for best animated feature.

When the apartment door closed, i had a bizarre feeling. I was already sorry! I had suddenly become "a married woman". i had conformed to society, while I had always wanted to remain in the margins. I…
看得我泪流满面。。。
我永远无法完全理解她,但却感觉漫画里的她和我之间的隔阂没有那么大。我们的人生不一样,但却是相似的。我们会经历爱、会探索自我、会面对挫折和失败、会在长大的过程中失去很多东西。她的犹豫和怀疑我都经历过,她的叛逆我也能懂得。她最后成长为一个“普通”的大人了,也许我也会是吧,但我们的人生都足以被写成一本有趣的书。好好活着吧,要继续追逐自己的内心。
因为寻根而回来,因为自由而再次离开,伊朗在Marjane那儿永远混杂爱与憎。
