The bestselling 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”

Here is the paper back boxed set, in its original two-volume format, re-released to include a sixteen-page booklet designed by the artist.

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.

Reviews for Maus: A Survivors Tale Box Set (GN): My Father Bleeds History / And Here My Trou

The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust. <i><i> The </i>Wall Street Journal The first masterpiece in comic book history. <i> The New Yorker</i> A loving documentary and brutal fable, a mix of compassion and stoicism [that] sums up the experience of the Holocaust with as much power and as little pretension as any other work I can think of. <i><i> </i>The New Republic A quiet triumph, moving and simple impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics. <i> The Washington Post Spiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics history: something that actually occurred . . . The central relationship is not that of cat and mouse, but that of Art and Vladek. <i>Maus</i> is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt. <i><i> </i>The New Yorker All too infrequently, a book comes along that s as daring as it is acclaimed. Art Spiegelman s <i>Maus </i>is just such a book. <i><i> </i>Esquire An epic story told in tiny pictures. <i><i> </i>The New York Times A remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution . . . at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant. <i> </i>Jules Feffer
