Con \"Taglia e cuci\" Marjane Satrapi regala ai lettori la rara opportunità di assistere indisturbati a un pomeriggio tra signore: una \"lunga seduta di tonificazione del cuore\" resa possibile dal vitale e appassionato scambio di pensieri, opinioni, pettegolezzi e confidenze che solo un gruppo affiatato di donne può generare, ovviamente lontano da occhi - maschili - indiscreti. La vita, l'amore, il sesso, il matrimonio: tutto passa al vaglio spietato delle emozioni femminili, tutto è analizzato, confrontato, sezionato con occhio disinibito e vivace; e a chi si chiede se le donne chiacchierino davvero così francamente tra loro di ciò che le riguarda, il libro risponde con un candido, aperto, divertito e divertente sì.

\"Servi e Satrapi\" è il racconto dell’avventura umana dell’anziano ucraino Nikolaj Smirnov che parte dalla cattedrale di Santa Sofia di Kiev per accompagnare profughi del suo paese alla volta dell’abbazia benedettina di Plankestetten in Baviera. Tra realtà e surrealtà durante il lungo viaggio, culminante nella visita al Tribunale di Norimberga, Nikolaj ripercorre le tappe più significative della storia del Novecento europeo, segnato dalle nefandezze più atroci di dittatori sanguinari che hanno relegato i propri simili al ruolo di servi obbedienti e incapaci di mutare il corso degli eventi. Attraverso passioni, inquietudini e tensioni morali del nostro tempo, l’Autore ricostruisce un’intrigante prova narrativa che si ripropone con un romanzo di grande attualità.

Il cuore del musicista Nasser Ali ha deciso di non battere più. Da quando sua moglie ha spezzato il suo tar, una sorta di liuto persiano, l'uomo si è dato otto giorni prima di lasciare questo mondo. Otto giorni per riflettere su quel che resta della sua vita, delle sue ambizioni e di un suo vecchio amore. Un'ultima occasione per fare un amaro bilancio dei sogni a cui ha rinunciato e di quello che la realtà gli ha offerto in cambio. Chiuso nella sua stanza, Nasser Ali ascolta le storie e gli incoraggiamenti dei suoi figli, della moglie, di suo fratello e di sua sorella, ma quelle parole non bastano a rimetterlo in piedi. Neanche i ricordi più profondi e vividi riescono a strapparlo alla dolce spirale della sua rassegnazione: né le forme procaci di Sophia Loren nell'Oro di Napoli né il gusto del pollo alle prugne, il suo piatto preferito. Deluso da tutto e tutti, Nasser Ali si abbandona alla deriva, in un cammino a ritroso nel suo passato, legato a doppio filo a quello di un Paese scosso dalla violenza.

CHOSEN BY EMMA WATSON FOR 'OUR SHARED SHELF' FEMINIST BOOK CLUB\n\nThe Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return\n\nThe intelligent and outspoken child of radical Marxists, and the great-grandaughter of Iran's last emperor, Satrapi 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. This is a beautiful and intimate story full of tragedy and humour - raw, honest and incredibly illuminating.

The brilliant graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during and after the Islamic revolution.\n\nMarjane Satrapi lived through the Iranian Revolution as a little girl. This is her classic memoir-in-comic-strips, the story of a child entangled in the history and politics of her country. It paints an unforgettable portrait of growing up in revolutionary and war-torn Iran, in a family that was both outrageous and ordinary, beset by tragedy and yet buffered by love. Funny, wise, ultimately heartbreaking and told with unforgettable pictures.\n\n‘A revelation...you will remember it for a very long time’ Mark Haddon\n\n‘The magic of Marjane Satrapi’s work is that it can condense a whole country’s tragedy into one poignant, funny scene after another’ Independent on Sunday\n\nTHE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS VOLUMES I & II: Includes The Story of a Childhood and The Story of a Return\n\nTRANSLATED BY ANJALI SINGH\n\n**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

In November 1955, Nasser Ali Khan, one of Iran's most celebrated tar players, is in search of a new instrument. His beloved tar has been broken. But no matter what tar he tries, none of them sound right. Brokenhearted, Nasser Ali Khan decides that life is no longer worth living. He takes to his bed, renouncing the world and all of its pleasures. This is the story of the eight days he spends preparing to surrender his soul. \n\nAs the days pass and Nasser Ali Khan grows weaker, those who love him - his wife, his children, his siblings - gather round, incredulous, to try to comfort him. Every visitor stirs up a memory, and in the course of this week Nasser Ali Khan revisits his entire life, a life defined by three relationships in particular. He remembers his late mother, who sacrificed everything for his revolutionary brother, but who also, in the last week of her life, found solace only in smoking and listening to him play his tar; his angry wife, who can't forgive him his melancholy and irresponsibility; and Irane, his first love, whose father forbade her to marry a poor musician and inflicted the wound that fuelled his music. The pieces of Nasser Ali Khan's story slowly fall into place, and as they do, we begin to understand him. By the time the eighth day dawns, having witnessed Nasser Ali Khan communing with Sufi mystics, Sophia Loren, the spirit of his late mother, his own demons and, bravely, with Azrael, the angel of death - we feel privileged to have known him. \n\nBrilliantly weaving together the past, present and future to explore the successes and joys, failures and disappointments of Nasser Ali Khan's life and through his story, the meaning of any of our lives - Marjane Satrapi has also once again presented us with a complex and deeply human portrait of the men and women of her country, and of pre-revolution Iran itself. She delivers this tremendous story about life and death, and the fear and courage both require, with her trademark humour and insight. Chicken With Plums is Marjane Satrapi's finest achievement to date.

Here is the fascinating and equally unforgettable sequel to Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's memoir-in-comic strips of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis 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. \n\nHere 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 - Persepolis 2 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.
