Anything is possible, with a little cunning plus the druid Getafix's magic potions Their effects can be truly hair-raising...

Recenzje

As for the English adaptations of Asterix, they represent a real triumph of the translator's art. Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge have finessed every allusion and tweaked every joke, so that their cascading English verbal wit seems to come straight from the heart of the original books Boyd Tonkin THE INDEPENDENT
