Persepolis 2

Marjane Satrapi

4.21 AVERAGE


Satrapi's life away from Iran and her family is also difficult. This second iteration is good, but nowhere near as moving as the first volume.

This was really good! Many people think that it wasn't as good as the first one and I agree, but it is still very good and deserves your attention. Volume 1 was about childhood, revolution, and family. Volume 2 is much more about coming of age and finding a place in the world. In many ways that is an uglier subject than the first volume. Volume 2 is also a little less exotic. Volume 1 is a window into Iran during the revolution, but volume 2 is largely a life in exile.

Tämä toinen osa Marjane Satrapin nuoruusmuisteluista ei ollut aivan yhtä vaikuttava kuin ensimmäinen. Toki hän on koki tälläkin kuvatulla ajanjaksolla rankkoja ja surullisia asioita, mutta kaiken yllä on jonkinlainen turtumus. Parhaita kohtia olivat kaikki ne pienet kapinalliset teot systeemiä vastaan. Opin todella paljon Iranin lähihistoriasta. Näistä asioista pitäisi puhua koulussakin.
