'Maus' nähert sich dem Unbeschreiblichen, dem Mord an Europas Juden, mit den Mitteln des Comic-Strips. 'Maus' ist Roman und Biographie, Bericht und persönliche Erinnerung ein bewegendes Kunstwerk.
MAUS was the first half of the tale of survival of the author's parents, charting their desperate progress from prewar Poland Auschwitz. Here is the continuation, in which the father survives the camp and is at last reunited with his wife.
Maus narra la historia de Vladek Spiegelman, un judío polaco que sobrevivió al Holocausto, a través de su hijo Art, un dibujante de cómics. Con un enfoque innovador, utiliza la memoria gráfica para explorar el sufrimiento y sus consecuencias en las generaciones posteriores, fusionando tragedia y comedia en una obra única.
'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 MAUS is widely renowned as one of the greatest pieces of art and literature ever written about the Holocaust. It is adored by readers and studied in colleges and universities all over the world. But what led Art Spiegelman to tell his father's story in the first place? Why did he choose to depict the Jews as mice? How could a comic book confront the terror and brutality of the worst atrocity of the twentieth century? To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the book's first publication, MetaMAUS, prepared by the author, is a vital companion to the classic text and includes never-before- seen sketches, rough and alternate drafts, family and reference photos, notebook and diary entries and the transcript of his interviews with his father Vladek as well as a long interview with Art, in which he discusses the book's extraordinary history and origins. The book includes a brand new DVD packed with extra images, video and commentary.
