Product Description:
Combined for the first time here are Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II - the complete story of Vladek Spiegelman and his wife, living and surviving in Hitler's Europe. By addressing the horror of the Holocaust through cartoons, the author captures the everyday reality of fear and is able to explore the guilt, relief and extraordinary sensation of survival - and how the children of survivors are in their own way affected by the trials of their parents. A contemporary classic of immeasurable significance.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - MAUS is no mouse
There aren't enough superlatives to describe this graphic novel. It's beautifully and cleverly written and illustrated. Characterization and history blend easily and realistically. MAUS really is a novel - to be read thoughtfully/carefully/even slowly. In several readings I've found new details and concepts and I'm sure this will continue to happen. Allegorical? Of course; yet I've never read a better narrative/description of the holocaust.
Rating:  - READ NEW GRAPIC, BUT TRUE/PRESENT HISTORY: "PALESTINE," BY JOE SACCO. A CURRENT EVENT
Current and true atrocities going on right now A deafening silence: in Israel, is it now okay to kill Americans? (Peacemaking).(implications of recent death and injuries of peace activists in Israel): An article from: Sojourners
maus is an old anti-Gentile and anti-everybody distortion of truth during WWII. maus mocks others' suffering in a cold and insensitive way.
maus is dated and still very upsetting, to people who really understand it bigoted and hurtful intent.

Rating: - Graphic literature at its best
The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale collects both volumes of Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel. The complete collection is how the book called the "first masterpiece in comic book history" is meant to be appreciated. A haunting piece of work, this story is part autobiography, part family history, and part personal and historical reflection on the Holocaust. This tale relates the effect the Holocaust had on the persons who survived it as well as their descendants.

Rating: - Yes.
I went to a exhibition on the history of comics a couple of years ago. They had all kinds, from Little Nemo to Jack Kirby, and many things in between. One of the things featured was several pages from Art Speigelman's Maus. I was so intrigued by what I saw that I had to buy it off Amazon, and I have not regretted it. Don't be fooled by Speigelman's seemingly simplistic black and white work. His storytelling is powerful stuff, I tell you.
Rating: - For any who doubt what graphic fiction can do, this is the revelation.
The Holocaust hangs over western society in the second half of the twentieth century. One man said that poetry was impossible after Auschwitz, but great artists in numerous mediums have dedicated themselves ot proving this wrong. The great crime has provided a great canvas for stories of humanity in the face of evil, such as Steven Spielberg's film "Schindler's List". "Maus" is the comics world's prime entry in this difficult field of literature. Writer and artist Art Spiegelman brings us the story ... Read More
