Marjane Satrapi Książki

Jedna z najbardziej znanych i wielokrotnie nagradzanych powieści graficznych świata! „Persepolis” jest donośnym głosem sprzeciwu wobec narzuconego siłą religijnego reżimu. W komiksowej autobiografii Marjane Satrapi ukazuje początek rewolucji islamskiej w Iranie, swój kilkuletni pobyt w Wiedniu i wreszcie powrót do kraju. „Persepolis” to dzieło uniwersalne, pełne niezwykle cennych obserwacji oraz obrazów, zabarwione zarówno humorem, jaki i ironią czy nostalgią. Przed patosem chroni je jednak poczucie dystansu autorki, wspaniale współgrające z czarno-białymi, często symbolicznymi ilustracjami.

Originally published to critical acclaim in France, this memoir captures Marjane Satrapi's experiences growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Through powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi narrates her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, a period marked by the overthrow of the Shah, the Islamic Revolution, and the war with Iraq. As the intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane's childhood is deeply intertwined with her country's tumultuous history. The memoir paints a vivid portrait of daily life in Iran, highlighting the stark contrasts between private and public existence and the heavy toll of repressive regimes on individual spirit. Through her child's-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned violence, and revolutionary heroes, readers witness her journey of understanding the complexities of her nation and family. This intensely personal and politically charged narrative serves as both a coming-of-age story and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and repression. Ultimately, it reveals how we navigate through laughter and tears amidst absurdity, introducing us to an unforgettable little girl we cannot help but love.

1982: il pleut des bombes irakiennes à Téhéran et Marjane a douze ans. A peu près l'age des gamins, ceux de la femme de ménage s'entend, qui seront envoyés sur les champs de bataille munis d'une clé en plastique censée leur ouvrir les portes du paradis. Après avoir fait connaissance avec la révolution et ses corollaires terrifiants, Marjane découvre la guerre à sa fenetre et apprend à faire la différence entre un Mig et un F14. C'est la guerre. Alors, comme dans toutes les guerres, on tâche de ne pas se laisser abattre: on s'aime, on boit, on se déchire, on s'entraide, on se méfie des voisins et on attend la fin. On grandit aussi un peu plus vite car on vit plus intensément, et la vie de suivre ou non son cours, Inch'Allah ou au petit bonheur la chance. A douze ans, on voit grand, et Marjane n'est pas du genre à s'en laisser compter. Ses parents non plus, qui prendront le risque de lui rapporter de Turquie des posters d'Iron Maiden et de Kim Wilde ou d'organiser des fetes interdites. Au fil des chapitres de sa vie, on assiste à la transformation d'une petite fille ordinaire en femme de chair et d'assaut, qui forgera son caractère dans l'acier trempé de l'insoumission et de la rage d'exister.

Malé Marjánce není co závidět. Sotva se uloží do postýlky a zhasne, vynoří se tři protivná, kruťácká strašidla a zlobí ji až hrůza. Holčička dostane nápad: Strašidla se přece objevují jen ve tmě, světla se bojí. Stačí tedy, aby Marjánka vystřihla měsíc z noční oblohy a zavřela ho do klece u své postýlky. A jak si usmyslí, tak udělá. Jenže ouha! Strašidla sice zmizí, zato kočkám teď nastaly zlé časy... Jak to?
