From the publisher:
Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer 1992 Maus nos cuenta la historia de Vladek Spiegelman, un judio superviviente del Holocausto, y de su hijo, un historietista que intenta reconciliarse con su padre, con la terrible historia de este y con la mismisima Historia. La forma de este relato, un comic (donde los nazis son gatos y los judios, ratones), logra desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercania que podamos tener con los hechos que aqui se refieren, y lo consigue precisamente porque se acerca a lo inefable empleando formas diminutivas. Como ha senalado el New York Times Book Review, este libro es un formidable hito, que aporta el detalle de un documental y la viveza de una novela... un suceso literario de primer orden. A medio camino entre Polonia y Rego Park, en Nueva York, Maus detalla dos historias poderosas: la primera es el relato de como el padre de Spiegelman y su esposa sobrevivieron a la Europa de Hitler, una narracion espeluznante llena de incontables encontronazos con la muerte, de escapatorias improbables y de sentimiento de terror ante la posibilidad del arresto y la traicion; la segunda trata de la relacion tortuosa que el autor mantiene con su padre en la vejez, en un intento de llevarse bien con el y que, sin embargo, esta trufado de pequenas discusiones y visitas intermitentes, mientras al fondo acecha un legado historico tan gigantesco que impide ningun tipo de sosiego. A todos los niveles, este es el relato definitivo de un superviviente... y tambien el de los hijos que, de algun modo, tienen que sobrevivir a los supervivientes. La parte I de Maus nos conduce, de la mano de los padres de Spiegelman, hasta las puertas de Auschwitz, y asimismo nos arrima al abatimiento que siente su hijo. Hay que dejar atras nuestras ideas preconcebidas. Estos gatos y estos ratones no son Tom y Jerry, sino algo muy diferente. Esto es un nuevo tipo de literatura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling first installment of the graphic novel acclaimed as "the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust" (Wall Street Journal) and "the first masterpiece in comic book history" (The New Yorker) PULITZER PRIZE WINNER One of Variety's "Banned and Challenged Books Everyone Should Read" A brutally moving work of art --widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written-- Maus recounts the chilling experiences of the author's father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.
