One of those books that needs to be on everyone's reading list and bookshelf.
Maus was our gateway into graphic novels. We bought it with our first salary, and it still sits on our bookshelf—worn, re-read, and lent out too many times to count. On the surface, it’s a Holocaust memoir told through mice and cats. But it’s also about family, survival, and what it means to carry someone else’s story. Spiegelman doesn’t hold back, but he also doesn’t dramatise. The drawings are stark, the storytelling clear, and the emotions hit hard. It’s a reminder that comics aren’t just for escape; they can also be a way in.
Perfect For:
Gifting to teens 'cos it helps build empathy and understand the human impact of the historical atrocity that was the Holocaust.
We are driven by curiosity, and a deep love for product, and are committed to transparency. We scour the internet to find products we love—from brands we trust. We look for things that stand out for their distinctive design, quality and mindfulness. We recommend these finds on the Souk website and in our newsletters—and tell you exactly why we like them. Like any friend would do.
If you're new to this, here's the deal — when you buy something through a link on Souk, we may earn a percentage of the sale, but it is at no extra cost to you. This allows us to remain independent and focused on curating only what we genuinely love. Any ad or sponsored post will be clearly labelled as such — there are no secret product placements on Souk! Each time you use our links to buy something, it supports our team's hard work as your trusted shopping buddy.
