The comic that changed history overnight. The "masterpiece of the century" is available as a two-volume edition in a slipcase. The most important comic classic of our time is released in a high-quality new edition. The story of "Maus" overnight transformed the narrative of comic strips - from cult to art. It recounts the authentic life story of Polish Jew Wladek Spiegelman. In Queens, New York, he shares with his son the milestones of his life: Poland and Auschwitz, Stockholm and New York. He speaks of rescue and the burden of survival. Art Spiegelman recorded this story by giving voice to the unspeakable through animals: Jews are mice, Germans are cats. "Maus" is a book that you cannot put down. When these mice talk about love, you are moved; when they suffer, you must cry. Umberto Eco says, "If any cartoonist deserves the Nobel Prize, it is he: Art Spiegelman." "In every racism, with its stark opposition of good and evil, there is a comic strip." - Art Spiegelman.
