The Complete MAUS

MAUS is a graphic novel that tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, and his son, Art, who is a cartoonist. The narrative explores Vladek's experiences during World War II and his struggles with survival, while also depicting Art's attempts to understand his father's past and their complicated relationship. The book uses anthropomorphic characters, with Jews represented as mice and Nazis as cats, to illustrate the horrors of the Holocaust. This definitive edition combines both parts of the story, highlighting themes of trauma, guilt, and the impact of history on future generations.
