Literature: Uncovering the Secrets of Astérix the Gaul
Listen now
Description
💥 50 B.C., a small village in Brittany is the last to resist the Roman invasion. Astérix and Obélix, with the help of the villagers (and a little magic potion) continue to prevent the great Julius Caesar from finally declaring all of Gaul conquered. It is with this loosely historical and very comical premise that René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo managed, them, to conquer the hearts of generations of readers.
