《我在伊朗长大》全系列共四册，述说了一个伊朗小女孩在伊斯兰革命时期的成长故事。这个小女孩经历了国王被推翻、伊斯兰革命、与伊拉克战争等国家大事。作者玛赞·莎塔碧述说的正是她本人的成长经验。
作者运用简单的线条和黑白对比带出这个震撼人心的故事。大量黑色的运用令画面充满力量。随着主角Marji的成长，读者可以深入地了解伊朗的历史、政治和文化。
伊朗，一个遥远而神秘的国度。长期以来人们谈起她总是将之与原教旨主义、狂热主义和恐怖主义联系在一起。作者认为事实并非如此。作者出身豪门，以当年伊朗的“伊斯兰革命”为背景，用客观的眼光叙述了国王被推翻、两伊战争等事件。
伊朗的政治、历史、文化也随这个女孩的成长经历以及那黑白分明、质朴有力的有版画感的图画，走近了读者，震撼人心。
Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.
In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane’s child’s-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
