A survivor's tale
Maus is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek's harrowing story of survival is woven into the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits.
Maus je desivým, no zároveň umelecky originálnym dielom o tragických udalostiach druhej svetovej vojny a holokaustu. Od svojho vzniku oslovilo milióny čitateľov po celom svete. Namiesto ľudí v ňom vystupujú myši a iné zvieratá s tým súvisí aj samotný názov knihy. Maus dnes patrí k vrcholným dielam svetovej literatúry, ktoré sa snažia zamedziť tomu, aby ľudia zabudli na hrôzy nacizmu. Pri príležitosti 25. výročia vydania tohto dnes už legendárneho komiksu vyšiel príbeh, pôvodne uverejnený v dvoch samostatných knihách, v jednom zväzku.
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.
Un survivant raconte
Dans ce livre, les Allemands sont des chats et les Juifs des souris. Il s'agit de la vie d'un rescapé des camps nazis racontée, par son fils, en bandes dessinées.
NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER • Visually and emotionally rich, MetaMaus is as groundbreaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals • Featured in the documentary Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse In the pages of MetaMaus, Art Spiegelman re-enters the Pulitzer Prize–winning Maus, the modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was first published decades ago.

Compelling and intimate, MetaMaus is poised to become a classic in its own right.
