About This Item
A paperback original (the hardcover version was published years later; the book was reissued as "volume I" with an additional subtitle-"My Father Bleeds History" when the second volume was published, and that edition is often mistaken for this original first edition because the copyright page date did not change).
160 pages. First edition (the last line of the copyright page reads, "Manufactured in U.S.A. First Edition"). This is a very good copy, with light wear to the corners. Nicer than average. The book is very susceptible to shelf wear and fine copies are very scarce.
Synopsis
The Complete Maus is a moving graphic novel that depicts the devastating experiences of the author’s father, Vladek, during the Holocaust. Art Spiegelman, an acclaimed artist, uses animals to represent those present in his retelling. He weaves his relationship with his father into the fabric of the tragic tale, demonstrating the cascading effects of trauma through exploring his father’s experiences surviving the Holocaust and Art’s own experiences growing up with his father. The tragic story, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992, has received vast attention for its impactful portrayal of one of the most horrendous events in world history.
