Description

MAUS, the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel and illustrated biography by Art Spiegelman, is widely considered to have vaulted the graphic novel to new heights in terms of literary quality, artistic merit, and personal and historical complexity. Using anthropomorphic animal characters (Jews are depicted as mice, Germans as cats, Americans as dogs, etc.) and a combination of flashbacks, memories, and stories, Spiegelman recounts the experiences of his father Vladek Spiegelman before,during, and after World War II, including his harrowing years in concentration camps. The first volume, MY FATHER BLEEDS HISTORY, establishes Spiegelman's father in the present as an irritable old man with a bad heart living in Queens, New York, and then deftly moves back in time to shows his youthful romances and eventual marriage to the beautiful Anja. Their happiness, however, is short-lived: they are forced to relocate into the Jewish ghetto while worse dangers loom as the Nazis' Final Solution grinds into action. The use of cartoons to describe such appalling events seems problematic, but MAUS brilliantly captures not only the awful weight of history, but also humorous and humane moments from a dark time in human civilization.

MAUS - THE COMPLETE MAUS (HARDCOVER) (ENGLISH V.) is categorised COMIC BOOKS / INDIE / Trade Paperbacks and Hardcover in English and sold by l'Imaginaire, a store and specialised website.

Un classique incontournable!
Ce classique de Art Spiegelman utilise la représentation animalière pour dépeindre l'holocauste juif de la deuxième guerre mondiale (les nazis sont des chats, les juifs sont des souris, d'où le maus=mouse).
La version achetée en anglais réunie les deux tomes de cette œuvre magistrale où un fils consigne le récit oral de son père sur son passé dans les camps de concentration. Une BD très touchante qui a inspiré plusieurs autres auteurs de BD à se lancer dans cet art.

Un autre côté de l'Histoire
J'ai adoré ce livre. Les récits à propos de la deuxième guerre mondiale sont commun, mais celui-ci explore un côté que j'ai rarement vu. En effet l'histoire est raconté par un survivant, mais quelques décennies après les évènements. Ainsi, en plus de ce qu'il a vécu lors de l'holocauste, on découvre aussi sa vie de survivant après les évènements et comment cette épreuve à influencé le reste de ça vie.
