{"product_id":"persepolis-2","title":"Persepolis 2","description":"Here 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56764600058191,"sku":"9780224074407","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780224074407_1-persepolis-2.jpg?v=1773433158","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/persepolis-2","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
