''Persepolis'' is an autobiographical graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi depicting her childhood up to her early adult years in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution. The title is a reference to the ancient capital of the Persian Empire, Persepolis. ''Newsweek'' ranked the book #5 on its list of the ten best fiction books of the decade. Originally published in French, it has been translated into several languages including English. French comics publisher L'Association published the original work in four volumes between 2000 and 2003. Pantheon Books (North America) and Jonathan Cape (United Kingdom) published the English translations in two volumes, in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Omnibus editions in French and English alike followed in 2007, coinciding with the theatrical release of the film adaptation. Satrapi and comic artist Vincent Paronnaud co-directed the derived animation movie, which is also called ''Persepolis''. Although the film emulates Satrapi's visual style of high-contrast inking, a present-day frame story is rendered in color. In the United States, ''Persepolis'' was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 2007 Academy Awards. ==Background== ''Persepolis'' details Satrapi's life during the war between Iran and Iraq. ''Persepolis'' depicts Satrapi's childhood in Iran, and ''Persepolis 2'' depicts her high school years in Vienna, Austria and her return to Iran where Satrapi attended college, married, and later divorced before moving to France, where she now lives. Hence, the series is not only a memoir, but a ''Bildungsroman''. Awards won by ''Persepolis 2'' include the Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Scenario in Angoulême, France, for its script and in Vitoria, Spain, for its commitment against totalitarianism. It has been translated into English, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Swedish Georgian and other languages, and has sold 1,500,000 copies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Persepolis (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
