The second instalment of the&nbsp;Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel&nbsp; 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). MAUS&nbsp;was the first half of the tale of survival of the author's parents, charting their desperate progress from&nbsp;prewar&nbsp;Poland Auschwitz.&nbsp;Here is the continuation, in which the father survives the camp and is at last reunited with his wife. Acclaimed as a quiet triumph and a brutally moving work of art, the first volume of&nbsp;Art Spieglman's&nbsp;Maus,&nbsp;introduced readers to Vladek Spiegleman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist trying to come to terms with his father, his father's terrifying story, and History itself. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), succeeds perfectly in shocking us out of any lingering sense of familiarity with the events described, approaching, as it does, the unspeakable through the diminutive.This second volume, subtitled&nbsp;And Here My Troubles Began, moves us from the barracks of Auschwitz to the bungalows of the Catskills. Genuinely tragic and comic by turns, it attains a complexity of theme and a precision of thought new to comics and rare in any medium.&nbsp;Maus&nbsp;ties together two powerful stories: Vladek's harrowing tale of survival against all odds, delineating the paradox of daily life in the death camps, and the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale - and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors.
