Maus

The graphic novel Maus is a new revolution in literature, this book bring to comic books to a new level and new perspective. This novel that is like a comic book is not about super heroes or a fantastic adventure in the robot world, this book is about a real event in life with character that could be real, except for the part that they are animals in human form, but this also have a symbolic meaning.
The graphic novel is at his name describe , the story is a novel of about 300 pages in form and with illustration of comic books. This concept will be more appealing to younger readers who gets easily bored my long and extensive reading like a common novel. This book is a mix of narrative and picture that will entertain and at the same time complement the reading.
This graphic novel have two main characters, one is Vladek a Jew survivor of the German invasion and the other main character is his son Archie who is a cartoonist and want to make book in form of a comic of the story of his father. The first volume of the book revolve more about Vladek and how he survive during the second World War. He narrate to his son Archie all about his life in Europe before arriving to America, how he meet the love of his live and how he struggle to survive in the Ghettos. From the first volume to the end of the book there is also the live of Archie and his bad relation with his old father. Archie want o make a book about the story of Vladek when his was in Europe, and for this reason his start to spend time with him, but the shadow his dead mother do not permit Archie to come in terms with his father.
The story of the book is really great and I enjoy it reading it because of this new type of literature, I hope that many boring books that tell great story and event could learn a little of this style.
