DESCRIPTION:
Now in a paperback boxed set, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel acclaimed as “the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust” (Wall Street Journal) and “the first masterpiece in comic book history” (The New Yorker).A brutally moving work of art—widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written—Maus recounts the chilling experiences of the author’s father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.
Jay Bee said Hardcover Includes Parts I and II. Browsing through the reviews and comments about Maus, I saw that there was some question as to whether the hardcover edition comprised Parts I and II. This is understandable because the product is listed in Amazon as "The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale (No 1)," which seems contradictory.When I was considering purchasing it, I looked at the number of pages that were listed for the edition and guessed that it included both parts of the story. So I bought it, it arrived fine, and I am now writing to confirm that yes, this edition includes I and II.Amazon should look into th. Good story; format adds no value Benjamin Szweda The story was very well crafted. The book is a story told by the author's father to the author. The author is creating this very story at the time he is taking notes on the story his father is telling him. An ingenious method for passing on these details. By telling the story in this method the author is able to relay to the reader more details than those just in the father's story. He is able to also give details about how life was for his father after the war - this is seen in their interactions and conversations. I'm not a big fan of the comic concept of relaying the st. The artwork is wonderful and the author's story really helps me to understand Lux Daniels I read parts of this book for school and I decided that I had to purchase it. The artwork is wonderful and the author's story really helps me to understand. There is one box that really hit home for me. It was when he wrote that the thought people need a bigger holocaust. I felt like I agreed, do we really need that to be able to understand the horrors that happened to all of those innocent people?
Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt.”—The New Yorker“All too infrequently, a book comes along that’s as daring as it is acclaimed. “The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust.”—The Wall Street Journal "The first masterpiece in comic book history.”—The New Yorker“A loving documentary and brutal fable, a mix of compassion and stoicism that sums up the experience of the Holocaust with as much power and as little pretension as any other work I can think of.”—The New Republic“A quiet triumph, moving and simple—impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics.”—The Washington Post“
Honors he has received for Maus include the Pulitzer Prize, a Guggenheim fellowship, and nominations for the National Book Critics Circle Award. He lives in New York City with his wife, Françoise Mouly, and their two children, Nadja and Dashiell.. His drawings and prints have been exhibited in museums and galleries here and abroad.
