Description

Combined for the first time here are Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II - the complete story of Vladek Spiegelman and his wife, living and surviving in Hitler's Europe. By addressing the horror of the Holocaust through cartoons, the author captures the everyday reality of fear and is able to explore the guilt, relief and extraordinary sensation of survival - and how the children of survivors are in their own way affected by the trials of their parents. A contemporary classic of immeasurable significance
Recenzja
The first masterpiece in comic book history
New Yorker
One of the clichés about the Holocaust is that you can't imagine it - Spiegelman disproves this theory
Independent
A brutally moving work of art
Boston Globe
In the tradition of Aesop and Orwell, it serves to shock and impart powerful resonance to a well-documented subject. The artwork is so accomplished, forceful and moving
TimeOut
Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history: something that actually occurred. Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt
New Yorker
An epic story told in tiny pictures
New York Times
The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust
Wall Street Journal
Maus
is a book that cannot be put down, truly, even to sleep...when you finish
Maus
, you are unhappy to have left that magical world and long for the sequel that will return you to it -- Umberto EcoA remarkable feat of documentary detail and novelistic vividness...an unfolding literary event
New York Times Book Review
The Pulitzer Prize-winning
Maus
tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in 'drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust'
New York Times
A quiet triumph, moving and simple - impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics
Washington Post
All too infrequently, a book comes along that' s as daring as it is acclaimed. Art Spiegelman's
Maus
is just such a book
Esquire
A remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution... at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant -- Jules Feiffer
Maus
is a masterpiece, and it's in the nature of such things to generate mysteries, and pose more questions than they answer. But if the notion of a canon means anything,
Maus
is there at the heart of it. Like all great stories, it tells us more about ourselves than we could ever suspect -- Philip PullmanSpiegelman's
Maus
changed comics forever. Comics now can be about anything -- Alison BechdelReading [his work] has been an amazing lesson in storytelling
Etgar Keret
It can be easy to forget how much of a game-changer
Maus
was.
