The Complete Maus: Art Spiegelman

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. Approaching the unspeakable through the diminutive (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), 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, studying the bloody pawprints of history and tracking its meaning for those who come next.
