Very nice presentation of an important work.
Bought as a gift but I have read this before so it's a stunning and highly influential work which has generated a great many articles about the subject manner and its treatment in this work. Highly recommended.

A harrowing tale retold
I had this book when it first came out but unfortunately at some point it got lost. Trawling through amazon I found that this edition had been made available. For those that think the bumper edition is too heavy, this is the solution you need, this is the book in the original two volumes and it is far easier to hold and read. As far as the story goes, this has to be an essential companion if you are interested in the literature of the holocaust. A retelling using animals in place of humans but without removing any of the heartbreak, this graphic novel crafts a world in a way that many books on the holocaust simply cannon manage. Buy this book, read it and appreciate that for those who survived, the holocaust can never be forgotten. For those from younger generations, the holocaust never should be forgotten.

Amazing graphic novel
If graphic novels are your thing, or if you're looking for a meaniful read and are considering graphic novel, this could be for you. A wonderfully illustrated, and heart wrenching book. Be warned, the messaging hits hard.

MAUS AND THE CA
I have the Italian version of Maus and I read also the English version of the novel. It is a true story of a survivor of the nazi camp that escaped the killing in the concentration camps in Poland. He tells the story of his life to his son, that is willing to listen to the story his father has to tell him. Very interesting. It is in black and white
