Author:Philip Bobbitt
This ambitious book sets out to reinterpret the history of the twentieth century as a long war in which conditions of outright military confrontation or of frantic "cold" competition lasted from the outbreak of the first world war until the collapseof the Soviet Union. He goes on to argue that this long experience of war has brought about a fundamental change in the constitutional basis of sates, and explores this idea through the notion of the "market state". By clarifying the relationship between constitutional settlements and military power, and by drawing on his firsthand experience in the heart of superpower planning, Bobbitt reveals a startling new way of understanding the past - and an awesome glimpse of the future.
The first masterpiece in comic book history
—— New YorkerOne of the clichés about the Holocaust is that you can't imagine it - Spiegelman disproves this theory
—— IndependentA brutally moving work of art
—— Boston GlobeIn the tradition of Aesop and Orwell, it serves to shock and impart powerful resonance to a well-documented subject. The artwork is so accomplished, forceful and moving
—— TimeOutSpiegelman has turned the exuberant fantasy of comics inside out by giving us the most incredible fantasy in comics' history: something that actually occurred. Maus is terrifying not for its brutality, but for its tenderness and guilt
—— New YorkerAn epic story told in tiny pictures
—— New York TimesThe most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust
—— Wall Street JournalMaus is a book that cannot be put down, truly, even to sleep...when you finish Maus, you are unhappy to have left that magical world and long for the sequel that will return you to it
—— Umberto EcoA remarkable feat of documentary detail and novelistic vividness...an unfolding literary event
—— New York Times Book ReviewThe Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in 'drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust'
—— New York TimesA quiet triumph, moving and simple - impossible to describe accurately, and impossible to achieve in any medium but comics
—— Washington PostAll too infrequently, a book comes along that' s as daring as it is acclaimed. Art Spiegelman's Maus is just such a book
—— EsquireA remarkable work, awesome in its conception and execution... at one and the same time a novel, a documentary, a memoir, and a comic book. Brilliant, just brilliant
—— Jules FeifferMaus is a masterpiece, and it's in the nature of such things to generate mysteries, and pose more questions than they answer. But if the notion of a canon means anything, Maus is there at the heart of it. Like all great stories, it tells us more about ourselves than we could ever suspect
—— Philip PullmanSpiegelman's Maus changed comics forever. Comics now can be about anything
—— Alison BechdelReading [his work] has been an amazing lesson in storytelling
—— Etgar KeretIt can be easy to forget how much of a game-changer Maus was.
—— Washington Post
