{"product_id":"persepolis-2","title":"Persepolis 2","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to \u003ci\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/i\u003e, Marjane Satrapi''s memoir-in-comic strips of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. \u003ci\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/i\u003e 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 - \u003ci\u003ePersepolis 2\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57303913464190,"sku":"NW9780224074407","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780224074407.jpg?v=1778654396","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/persepolis-2","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
