Maus (1991-1992), de Art Spiegelman

I recommend this comic: Maus is the story of a survivor of Auschwitz, Vladek Spiegelman, narrated by his son Art. In Maus, Spiegelman goes beyond the Holocaust to settle in the psychology of the survivor of the shadow of a suicidal mother and the ghost of a brother who never knew. The characters are shown with facial animal thus, for example, the Jews are portrayed mice, while the Nazis are cats. Written and drawn by Art Spiegelman, Maus is unanimously considered by critics as one of the best comics from history. It is also one of the few comics that transpired not only the general public but did so with a recognition remarkable received one of the prestigious Pulitzer Prizes in 1992, a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation and gave rise to an exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Art Spiegelman was born in Switzerland to the United States to live with their parents, being a baby. In 1968 his mother commits suicide and leaves with existential conflict. When, later, Art becomes artist decides to translate the story of her father in comic and, in this way, try to translate their own life. Spiegelman decided upon presenting the story a story narrated by her father while you interview. Then we can see in the novel Art to making an interview to his father, which gives us a very precise idea of the character of his father and the relationship that they have.

A story that terrorizes those who read it, though it is told by a mice.
