Synopsis "Maus ii: A Survivor's Tale - and Here my Troubles Began: 002 (Maus a Survivor's Tale) (in English)"

The bestselling second installment of the 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"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.

Nació en 1948 en Estocolmo, Suecia. Tres años más tarde, él y sus padres, supervivientes de un campo de concentración nazi, se trasladan a Nueva York. En los 60 empieza a trabajar como ilustrador para la Topps Chewing Gum Co. en la serie GARBAGE PAILS KID y realiza historias underground de carácter autobiográfico, entre las que destaca PRISIONERO DEL PLANETA INFIERNO, donde ilustra las reacciones familiares ante el suicidio de su madre. En 1978 crea la revista RAW, una publicación que sirve de refugio para todos aquellos autores norteamericanos y europeos cuyo trabajo no tiene cabida en el mercado popular. Fue en RAW donde dio a conocer su obra más conocida: MAUS. Es profesor en la School of Visual Arts de Nueva York ha ilustrado publicaciones en NEW YORK TIMES, PLAYBOY, VILLAGE VOICE y el semanario THE NEW YORKER.
