Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. For intermediate readers, this graphic novel is in black and white, is text heavy, and talks about the holocaust and Nazi Germany. The mice are Jews and the cats are the Nazis. It educates us about a serious historical event while still making it appropriate and engaging. A good introduction to a very serious event in history. A powerful and memorable conclusion to the story woven in the first book. Spiegelman takes you through various moments in the past, as well as his struggle to convey the histories into a narrative for his book. This is a hard book to rate. It's an important book, and worth reading. It really does show a lot of the trauma that was left after the Holocaust, even for the survivors. But while I'm glad I read it, it's hard to say that I enjoyed it. How can you say you "enjoyed" reading about such a horrific time in human history, even when it's told in an otherwise enjoyable style? I liked the art style a lot, that's for sure. I connected to the people and their story. I definitely recommend the book (though start with the first one), but remember that it's not an easy subject matter even though it's in graphic novel format. 2014 (my review of a re-read of this and Maus I are on the linked LibraryThing page) https://www.librarything.com/topic/179643#4954678
Perhaps no Holocaust narrative will ever contain the whole experience. But Art Spiegelman has found an original and authentic form to draw us closer to its bleak heart. By writing and drawing simply, directly and earnestly, Mr. Spiegelman is able to lend his father's journey into hell and back an immediacy and poignance... In recounting the tales of both the father and the son in "Maus" and now in "Maus II," Mr. Spiegelman has stretched the boundaries of the comic book form and in doing so has created one of the most powerful and original memoirs to come along in recent years.

A memoir of Vladek Spiegleman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and about his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father, his story, and history. Cartoon format portrays Jews as mice, Nazis as cats. Using a unique comic-strip-as-graphic-art format, the story of Vladek Spiegelman's passage through the Nazi Holocaust is told in his own words. Acclaimed as a "quiet triumph" and a "brutally moving work of art," the first volume of Art Spiegelman's Maus introduced readers to Vladek Spiegelman. The story 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. As the New York Times Book Review commented, "[it is] a remarkable feat of documentary detail and novelistic vividness ... an unfolding literary event." This long-awaited sequel, subtitled 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. Maus 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. Vladek's troubled remarriage, minor arguments between father and son, and life's everyday disappointments are all set against a backdrop of history too large to pacify. At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale--and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This book is a survivors tale of the holocaust and his experiences. This is an own voices book and gives students a direct glimpse into what this might have looked like for Jewish people in these days.
I really like this book because it simplifies such a complex topic and helps children better understand something like this. Many times we have to teach children these things but we don't know how to go about it without it scaring them or becoming way too overwhelming. I would have my students read this if we were taking about the holocaust. They also use animals as the characters, this puts a buffer between the cruel things that happened and make them a little more manageable for children. (
