Summary:
The first volume introduces readers to Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist trying to come to terms with his father, his father's terrifying story, and history itself. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), succeeds perfectly in shocking us out of any lingering sense of familiarity with the events described, approaching, as it does, the unspeakable through the diminutive. Tragic and comic by turns, it attains a new complexity of theme and a precision of thought new to comics and rare in any medium.

Summary:
Sans que nous le sachions ou parce que nous l'avons oublié, nos maisons ou appartements sont construits sur des sols qui ne sont pas forcément sains et équilibrés. Pourquoi ? Tout simplement parce que la Terre et donc le sol sur lequel nous vivons forment un ensemble énergétique animé par le magnétisme terrestre qui véhicule aussi bien les mauvaises que les bonnes vibrations. D'autre part, toute la planète est enveloppée ale réseaux Hartmann omniprésents tous les 2m dans le sens nord-sud et tous les 2m5 (dans le sens est-ouest) et c'est à leur croisement que surgit en force l'énergie tellurique en provenance du centre de la Terre. Ce livre vous expliquera en quoi ces croisements sont toujours actifs où qu'ils soient, y compris dans votre chambre ou dans une autre pièce.

Ils montrent comment ces processus de normalisation opèrent. A partir de leurs expériences cliniques, ils plaident pour le retour du "souci de soi" dans la médecine moderne
