*Time Out*
The 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

Hockridge, Asterix's translators since the very beginning, have
made great books into eternal flames.
