Review A cartoon drawn with such supreme artistry, and a text layered with such glorious wordplay, satire and historical and political allusion that no reader should ever feel like theyve outgrown it.--TIME OUTThe Asterix books represent the very summit of our achievement as a literary race. In Asterix one finds all of human life. The fact that the books were written originally in French is no matter. I have read them all in many languages and, like all great literature, they are best in English. Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, Asterixs translators since the very beginning, have made great books into eternal flames.--THE TIMES Promotional Special re-release to follow the first new Asterix adventure for 5 years Global sales of Asterix outstrip Harry Potter 11,000 websites devoted to Asterix Combined UK sales of the last 5 books - 2.2 million copies Over 300 million books sold worldwide Long Description In ancient Rome the slaves are revolting ... and not only that, theyve stolen Julius Caesars own galley, the finest warship in the Roman navy.
