Maus: A Survivor's Tale - Part I: My Father Bleeds History & Part II: And Here My Troubles Began
A haunting tale within a tale, Maus combines Vladek's harrowing story of survival with the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father.
Studying the bloody pawprints of history, Maus is an astonishing retelling of the twentieth century's most grisly news. However, more than that, it is a story of first-hand survival during unheard of terrors, and also a tale that follows the survival of the children who survive the survivors.
"A masterpiece. Readers can't help witnessing (even feeling) the act of private pain being transformed into lasting truth." -- The Boston Globe
