Marjane Satrapi
Persepolis : The Story Of Childhood
Random House 2003. Graphic Memoir. Medium Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Medium Trade Paperback. 453 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Random House 2003. Graphic Memoir. CONDITION: This book is in near fine condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: 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.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: During a long and decorated career with the Melbourne Storm Queensland and Australia Billy Slater has forged a reputation as not merely one of rugby league s great fullbacks but as one of the best players in the game s long history. Slater s story is that of a young country recruit with superb natural talent who rose quickly to the top level playing with the Storm after just one pre-season in Melbourne and starring for Queensland during just his second season in the NRL. But inside the player who has scored so many audacious tries on the game s biggest stages is a fierce competitive drive and a relentless work ethic one inherited from parents who worked tirelessly to provide for their two children. In his fourteen years in the NRL Slater has been confronted by the Melbourne Storm salary cap scandal career-threatening injuries the disappointment of lost grand finals a game-losing mistake with the Kangaroos and accusations about his allegedly rough style of play. Slater has emerged not merely as a great of the game but as an even more resilient character a respected spokesman for his sport a devoted husband and father and in a moment of emotional vindication a member of the Storm s defiant 2012 premiership team. Billy s story is told with contributions from Slater s family as well as other rugby league legends like Cooper Cronk Craig Bellamy Darren Lockyer and Cameron Smith. Quantity Available: 1.

Back from the Dead : Peter Hughes's Story of Survival and Hope after Bali

CONDITION: This book is in near fine condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Peter Hughes was the man whose blistered and swollen face we saw on television during the shocking first hours of the news coverage from Bali. He literally took our breath away when we heard him quietly tell rescuers he was okay and to help those worse off than him. Looking at him we could see that he was badly injured himself. And indeed he was. Later he lapsed into a month-long coma during which he died three times and had to be revived. BACK FROM THE DEAD is a gripping and personal account of the day terrorism cast its deadly shadow on Australia as told by the man who became the human face of the victims a reluctant and accidental hero who did what he knew best: never give up hope. This is the unforgettable story of the unimaginable - the day we lost our innocence. It seemed in the aftermath of the tragedy that almost everyone knew one of the victims or knew someone who did. We are all connected somehow.It is also a testament to courage mateship and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Quantity Available: 1.
