Spiegelman, Art - Maus I, A Survivor's Tale (Paperback)

Maus I: A Survivor's Tale is a groundbreaking graphic novel by Art Spiegelman that portrays the harrowing experiences of his father, Vladek Spiegelman, a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. Through a unique anthropomorphic approach—depicting Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs—Spiegelman intertwines two narratives: his father's traumatic past during World War II and their complex father-son relationship in the present. This first volume, My Father Bleeds History, chronicles Vladek's life from the mid-1930s up to his arrival at Auschwitz, offering readers an intimate and unflinching look at the horrors of the Holocaust and its enduring impact on subsequent generations. The minimalist black-and-white illustrations enhance the emotional depth and stark reality of the story, solidifying Maus as a seminal work in both Holocaust literature and the graphic novel genre.​
