«LA GENTE SEGU A RECIBIENDO HERIDAS DE BALA Y MURIENDO, COMO SIEMPRE, AUNQUE NO SIEMPRE POR ESE ORDEN . En un mundo que cambia a la velocidad de un juego de realidad virtual, un simple polic a de a pie debe lidiar con todas las formas de violencia imaginables que produce una sociedad entregada a los excesos m s variados: robots de reparto que se enfrentan a peatones, proveedores de drogas y drones ejecutores de presuntos terroristas. Hay espacio para las emociones humanas en un universo tan t xico... que se parece demasiado al nuestro? Un polic a capaz de empatizar con estas circunstancias no se convertir en un peligro para el funcionamiento del sistema? A medio camino entre el relato de g nero y la distop a urbana, Street Cop sit a la condici n humana en el centro de una investigaci n policial ins lita. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIs there room for human emotions in this toxic universe... that looks too much like ours? Robert Coover's detective novelette, STREET COP, is set in a dystopian world of infectious "living dead," murderous robo-cops, aging street walkers, and walking streets. With drawings by Art Spiegelman, this short tale scrutinizes the arc of the American myth, exploring the working of memory in a digital world, police violence and the future of urban life. STREET COP is provocative and prophetic, asking us to interrogate the line between a condemnable system and a sympathetic individual.

Maus flätar ihop två starka historier till en viktig och angelägen roman om Förintelsen och de överlevandes traumatiska arv. Den ena historien handlar om hur handelsresanden Vladek Spiegelman, en polsk jude, med tur och rådighet lyckades överleva Förintelsen tillsammans med hustrun Anja i det av Nazityskland ockuperade Polen. Denna nyutgåva av Maus är noggrant övervakad av Art Spiegelman själv och har en helt ny översättning, som är mer korrekt gentemot originalet än den gamla. Det är en hemsk berättelse om ständig fara för livet, osannolika räddningar, ångest och svält på trånga gömställen, oväntad hjälp och otäckt förräderi. Och slutligen det djupaste helvetet i Auschwitz. Den andra historien handlar om serieskaparen Art Spiegelmans plågade relation till sin åldrande far, som efter kriget flyttat till USA. Som många andra överlevande från Förintelsen har också Vladek hållit tyst om sina upplevelser. Men nu kräver Art att pappan ska berätta, för han vill nedteckna sin fars fasansfulla historia innan det är för sent, och han hoppas att därigenom bättre kunna förstå och kanske kunna förlika sig med sin rätt påfrestande far. Men pappans berättelse slungar ut sonen i förtvivlan, hopplöshet och depression. Maus är på många plan den definitiva berättelsen om Förintelsens överlevande – och därutöver berättelsen om deras barn, som på något sätt blir de överlevandes överlevande. “MAUS förändrade seriemediet för alltid. Serier kan nu handla om allting.” Alison Bechdel “MAUS är en bok som inte går att lägga ifrån sig, tro mig, inte ens för att sova.När två av mössen talar om kärlek blir du rörd, när de lider, då gråter du.” Umberto Eco “MAUS handlar om då och där – men också om nu och här. Spiegelman skildrar sin far, mor och sig – men också mig och dig.” Bengt Eriksson, Bild och Bubbla “Som ett unikt vittnesbörd om de verkligt fasansfulla illdåd vi människor är i stånd att göra mot varandra, är MAUS onekligen ett mästerverk.” Tom Engelhardt, Unbanning MAUS (2022) Art Spiegelman (född 1948) är en av nutidens mest hyllade serieskapare. Han har tagit emot nära nog alla USA:s och Europas stora seriepriser och många andra kulturpriser. Som första och än så länge enda serieskapare fick han USA:s berömda Pulitzerpris (1992) för Maus. Han började sin seriekarriär på USA:s uppkäftiga undergroundseriescen i slutet av 1960-talet. Hans serier var ofta experimentella analyser av seriernas bildspråk och berättarstruktur. De samlades i boken Breakdowns (1977). Tillsammans med sin hustru, designern och förläggaren Françoise Mouly, startade han Raw (1980–1991), en tidskrift för internationella avantgardeserier. I andra numret av Raw kom första kapitlet av Maus. Han har gjort få serier efter Maus. Nämnas bör In the Shadow of No Towers (2004) om attentatet 2001 mot New Yorks Twin Towers och Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! (2008), en utvidgad nyutgåvaav Breakdowns. Från 1992 till 2002 tecknade han omslag åt tidskriften The New Yorker. Han har illustrerat romaner och dikter, The Wild Party (1994) och Street Cop (2021). Tillsammans med Mouly har han givit ut moderna klassiska barnserier i Toon Books och Little Lit. Han har undervisat vid School of Visual Arts i New York och arrangerat internationella utställningar (Co-Mix, 2012–2014). I böcker som Jack Cole (2001) och Meta-Maus (2011) har han undersökt de populära serier som var jordmånen för hans konst.

The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form...and how it formed him!**In a new flexibound format with an updated afterword**This book opens with Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, creating vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped Art Spiegelman. It traces the artist's evolution from a MAD-comics obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the effect of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son.The second part presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s, the book that triggers these memories. Breakdowns established the mode of formally sophisticated comics that transformed the medium, and includes the prototype of Maus, cubist experiments, an essay on humor, and the definitive genre-twisting pulp story "Ace Hole-Midget Detective."Pulling all this together is an illustrated essay that looks back at the sixties as the artist pushes sixty, and explains the obsessions that brought these works into being. Poignant, funny, complex, and innovative, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.'Art Spiegelman is the single most important comic creator' Alan Moore

Al primer volumen de Maus lo alab la cr tica por lo ins lito de su propuesta y por tratarse de una obra de arte brutalmente conmovedora. En ella, los lectores conocimos a Vladek Spiegelman, un jud o superviviente del Holocausto, y a su hijo, un historietista que intentaba reconciliarse con su padre, con la terrible historia de este y con la mism sima Historia. La forma elegida para relatarlo, un c mic (donde los nazis son gatos y los jud os, ratones), lograba desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercan a que pudi ramos tener con los hechos referidos, y lo consegu a precisamente porque se acercaba a lo inefable empleando formas diminutivas. Este segundo volumen, que lleva por subt tulo "Y aqu comenzaron mis problemas", nos traslada de los barracones de Auschwitz a los bungalows de los Catskills. Genuinamente tr gico y c mico a partes iguales, alcanza una gran complejidad en el tratamiento de los temas y una precisi n de pensamiento in ditos en el c mic y poco habituales en cualquier otro medio art stico. Porque Maus une dos historias poderosas: la narraci n espeluznante de Vladek, un relato de supervivencia contra todo pron stico, que retrata la gran paradoja del vivir d a a d a en un campo de exterminio, y los pormenores de la tortuosa relaci n que el autor mantiene con su padre en la vejez. A todos los niveles, este es el relato definitivo de un superviviente... y tambi n el de los hijos que, de alg n modo, tienen que sobrevivir a los supervivientes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling second installment of the graphic novel 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) PULITZER PRIZE WINNER One of Variety's "Banned and Challenged Books Everyone Should Read" A brutally moving work of art--widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written--Maus recounts the chilling experiences of the author's father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.

This legendary 1978 collection of comics by Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the best-selling Maus, presents the seminal early works that changed how comics are made and appreciated today--now with a new Afterword by the author. "Some of the smartest criticism of the comics genre ever rendered." --NPR Innovative, serious, funny, and many decades ahead of its time, Breakdowns is offered here in its entirety: the long-sought-after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s, along with an introduction almost as long as the book it introduces--and just as autobiographically intimate and experimentally daring. At once the story of an artist and of his medium, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.

Ganadora del Premio Pulitzer 1992 Maus nos cuenta la historia de Vladek Spiegelman, un jud o superviviente del Holocausto, y de su hijo, un historietista que intenta reconciliarse con su padre, con la terrible historia de este y con la mism sima Historia. La forma de este relato, un c mic (donde los nazis son gatos y los jud os, ratones), logra desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercan a que podamos tener con los hechos que aqu se refieren, y lo consigue precisamente porque se acerca a lo inefable empleando formas diminutivas. Como ha se alado el New York Times Book Review, este libro es «un formidable hito, que aporta el detalle de un documental y la viveza de una novela... un suceso literario de primer orden . A medio camino entre Polonia y Rego Park, en Nueva York, Maus detalla dos historias poderosas: la primera es el relato de c mo el padre de Spiegelman y su esposa sobrevivieron a la Europa de Hitler, una narraci n espeluznante llena de incontables encontronazos con la muerte, de escapatorias improbables y de sentimiento de terror ante la posibilidad del arresto y la traici n; la segunda trata de la relaci n tortuosa que el autor mantiene con su padre en la vejez, en un intento de llevarse bien con l y que, sin embargo, est trufado de peque as discusiones y visitas intermitentes, mientras al fondo acecha un legado hist rico tan gigantesco que impide ning n tipo de sosiego. A todos los niveles, este es el relato definitivo de un superviviente... y tambi n el de los hijos que, de alg n modo, tienen que sobrevivir a los supervivientes. La parte I de Maus nos conduce, de la mano de los padres de Spiegelman, hasta las puertas de Auschwitz, y asimismo nos arrima al abatimiento que siente su hijo. Hay que dejar atr s nuestras ideas preconcebidas. Estos gatos y estos ratones no son Tom y Jerry, sino algo muy diferente. Esto es un nuevo tipo de literatura.

Maus er fortellingen om Vladek Spiegelman, en polsk jøde, og sønnen hans, Art, en serietegner som begynner å avdekke farens historie. Vladeks opplevelser før og under den andre verdenskrig flettes sammen med forfatterens skildring av det anstrengte forholdet mellom far og sønn og danner et rystende og personlig bilde av en av historiens største tragedier.For Maus har Art Spiegelman vunnet en rekke utmerkelser, blant annet den prestisjetunge Pulitzer-prisen.

For Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were both highly personal and intensely political. In the Shadow of No Towers, his first new book of comics since the groundbreaking Maus, is a masterful and moving account of the events and aftermath of that tragic day.Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda.He responded in the way he knows best. In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after the attacks), he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey-with his singular artistry and his characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit-the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.

"Spiegelman's drawings are like demonic woodcuts: every angle, line, and curve jumps out at you. Stylishness and brutishness are in perfect accord." - The New York Times Art Spiegelman's sinister and witty black-and-white drawings give charged new life to Joseph Moncure March's Wild Party, a lost classic from 1928. The inventive and varied page designs offer perfect counterpoint to the staccato tempo of this hard-boiled jazz-age tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. Here is a poem that can make even readers with no time for poetry stop dead in their tracks. Once read, large shards of this story of one night of debauchery will become permanently lodged in the brain. When The Wild Party was first published, Louis Untermeyer declared: "It is repulsive and fascinating, vicious and vivacious, uncompromising, unashamed . . . and unremittingly powerful. It is an amazing tour de force."
