dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Maus, indiscutivelmente é uma obra densa, que termina com aquele peso no estômago. Ler um recorte de uma vida que passou por tudo isso, é fatigante, parece que li por meses, acompanhando tudo que está retratado.
A escolha de usar quadrinhos como estilo de narração, foi incrível. O recurso de serem animais, foi genial. A tradução está ótima, mantendo características oratórias.
Não dá pra "gostar" de uma história assim, mas é sem dúvida uma obra excelente.

dark emotional funny reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.5

I have not read many graphic novels but this has convinced me that I ought to. It's difficult to truly comprehend how horrifying the Holocaust was, but Art Spiegelman is able to capture the visceral horror of his father's experience, albeit often delivered with the nonchalance of someone who had no choice but to cope.

The 'present day' flashes of Art and Vladek's relationship are both charming and grounding, allowing readers to view his father in totality and not just in the context of his experience in Auschwitz.

This book was incredibly eye-opening to the horrors of the Holocaust however I understand it can be extremely heavy and dark so I would definitely recommend caution!
