Asterix in Britain
Asterix in Britain | Goscinny
6 posts | 11 read
The Romans have invaded Britain, but one village still holds out. Asterix and Obelix come to help, with a barrel of magic potion in hand. But to deliver the precious brew, the Gaulish heroes must face fog, rain, bad food, warm beer, and the Roman, too.

I'd read this story in English as a child and decided to reread the original French version. Having vacationed in England recently, I enjoyed the friendly and humorous pokes at British culture. I liked especially Goscinny's take on how tea was introduced to the British!

First book finished for #FabulousFebruary @Andrew65

Andrew65 Brings back memories of childhood. I loved the Asterix and TinTin books. 2y
kwmg40 @Andrew65 Yes, me too! I'd read all the Tintin and Asterix I could get my hands on when I was a child. 2y

Still feeling pretty sick. Now I try to have a great time besides reading. I loved Asterix, when I was little and I need something quite funny right now. 😊 #childmemories

Sarah83 @julesG irgendwie hab ich den Eindruck, es wird eher schlimmer als besser. 😣 6y
julesG Es geht zur Zeit echt ekliges Virenzeugs um. Ich habe heute für Cambridge geprüft. Meine Stimme klang am Morgen schon nach Whisky und Zigarette, jetzt könnte ich definitiv bei der Sexhotline anfangen. 6y
Sarah83 @julesG hört sich doch hervorragend an 😑 6y
julesG Jaaa, so schön rauchig. 😝 6y

Nothing quite like people bringing you souvenirs you can eat and read. I would have preferred getting to go to Paris in the springtime though.

Ich liebe Comics, auch wenn ich damit oft allein auf weiter Flur bin. 😉 Ich finde Comics haben ihre eigene Sprache und gerade durch die Kürze der Texte, sind sie umso öfter noch aussagekräftiger. 😙

I love comics, even though I am often the only one. 😉 Comics do have their own language and the shortness of the texts makes them more significant. 😙

Sarah83 @scripturient Jawohl. Ich fand das vor ein paar Jahren ganz toll, dass die Bild diese Reihe von Comics rausgebracht hat. Stehen alle bei mir zusammen in einem Bücherregal. 😍 8y

When my hubby was a child, he and his Mom used to read these Asterix books together. She was a French teacher and he thought these stories were hilarious. Neither of us speaks French, but maybe someday we'll use them to brush up on our French-speaking skills. 😉 #day4 #notinenglish #seasonsreadings2016

drokka Asterix & Obelix are the best! Read those all through my childhood. 8y
PurpleyPumpkin @drokka I'm not sure I had heard of them before I met my husband! Now I feel like I led a very sheltered childhood. 😂 8y
