Synopsis:
In this book Panoramix the Druid is off to the druids' contest in the forest. In the meanwhile a group of Goths sneaks into Gallia to kidnap the winner of the Druids' contest so that they can use his magic to invade Gallia.

It's a really fun read as always. These books are like a small snippet of joy - always a pleasure to read

By now I'm finding these quite easy to read in French and this didn't give me much trouble outside of a little convolution near the end. Notably mean-spirited towards the Goths/Germans and quite a startling reminder of just how close in time the 60s still were to the war - the happy ending here sees the Goths plunged into a seemingly endless civil conflict that will ensure they will never be able to threaten their neighbours again, while there's a few thinly disguised references to recent German history along the way. Quite a fun adventure though if a few steps below the previous installment comparatively.

Another adventure by our favourite duo where Getafix is kidnapped by Goths who want to invade Gaul and Rome using the druid's magic potion. What results is chaos and confusion partly by the miscreants and partly by our Gauls. As always a good story to while the time away in this heat.

"Ta vie ne tient qu'à un fil, Téléféric"

Un gag toutes les trois cases, de l'aventure, des blagues sur les belges et sur les allemands (avec un thème historique disons tendu il faut dire) pour moi c'est l'un des meilleurs parmi les plus anciens tomes d'Astérix.
