內容簡介

  In Persepolis, heralded by the Los Angeles Times as "one of the freshest and most original memoirs of our day," Marjane Satrapi dazzled us with her heartrending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Here is the continuation of her fascinating story.

  In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war with Iraq to begin a new life in Vienna. Once there, she faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family, and while she soon carves out a place for herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to struggle for a sense of belonging.

  Finding that she misses her home more than she can stand, Marjane returns to Iran after graduation. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both she and her country have undergone in her absence and her shame at what she perceives as her failure in Austria. Marjane allows her past to weigh heavily on her until she finds some like-minded friends, falls in love, and begins studying art at a university. However, the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism eventually lead her to question whether she can have a future in Iran.

  As funny and poignant as its predecessor, Persepolis 2 is another clear-eyed and searing condemnation of the human cost of fundamentalism. In its depiction of the struggles of growing up--here compounded by Marjane's status as an outsider both abroad and at home--it is raw, honest, and incredibly illuminating.

  前情提要:小小瑪嘉成了小留學生,在維也納的日子,是求學,也是逃難,而家鄉情況愈來愈緊張。然而,有一天瑪嘉要回家了,他會遭遇到什麼樣的困難呢?

  若從整個中東泛伊斯蘭教的脈絡來看,伊朗是一個 相當特別的國家。大部分住在伊朗的居民是波斯人,通行波斯語,而其歷史傳統更世界文明史上獨特而淵遠留長的一支。在二十世紀的舞台上,伊朗的國風曾經一度開放,雖是君主憲政的專制政體,國家也在此時完成現代化(西化)理想。主流信仰伊斯蘭教還未被基本教義派教徒所掌握,直到作者瑪嘉.莎塔碧(Marjane Satrapi)所經歷的1979年伊朗革命之後改朝換代,西方的價值觀被鎮壓。這是小小瑪嘉的童年。

  長大後的瑪嘉把千百個疑問與擔心畫在紙上。瑪嘉的畫風以黑白為主調,大量黑色的運用令畫面充滿力量,故事簡潔動人。隨著主角Marji的成長,大家可以深入地了解伊朗的歷史、政治和文化。 Persepolis上下二冊,在法國推出時大獲好評,被譯成十多種文字,並獲得了包括2004年德國法蘭克福書展「最佳漫畫獎」等多個漫畫書大獎。 而二十一世紀的我們,也還是問著小小瑪嘉的問題,為什麼女孩子不准上學?為什麼女生一定要帶頭紗?這是一個遙遠而古老文化在二十世紀經歷巨變的故事,也是小小瑪嘉的成長故事。

  中文版由香港三聯出版社發行。

作者簡介

瑪嘉.莎塔碧(Marjane Satrapi)

  1969年生,一個長得中東面孔,講起話比西方人還大膽、直率的伊朗人。

  從小聽爸媽揭發政府弊端,認清這是個不得不革命的時代;看《辯證唯物主義》連環漫畫,發現馬克思和上帝長得超像;上街頭遊行抗議,因為革命要取得勝利,需要全體人民的支持。最大的夢想是當女先知,集上帝的正義與愛憎於一身。

  十四歲被送往維也納當小留學生,從此學會一個成年人該會的所有事情。

  2001年出版自傳漫畫《我在伊朗長大》(Persepolis),橫掃各國漫畫大獎,包括:「2004年德國法蘭克福書展-最佳漫畫獎」、「2002年法國安古蘭國際漫畫節-年度最佳漫畫獎」,有十五國譯本,全球銷售二十萬餘冊。

  反對布希,反抗強權,但強調自己不是恐怖份子,也不是女性主義者,只是說話大聲的人道主義家。目前選擇定居巴黎,因為巴黎不禁菸,而且巴黎人不平則鳴,常罷工。偶爾沒車可搭,沒電可用的巴黎是她的最愛。
