Capolavoro: dall’idea di Cesare di affogare i galli nel progresso (riducendo il villaggio a una bidonville ai margini di una grande e moderna città) agli interventi urbanistici nella grande foresta, dalla caratterizzazione degli schiavi (con la sottotrama che li riguarda) alle vicende della coppia romana che va a vivere nel residence costruito accanto al villaggio, si passa da una trovata geniale all’altra, tutte funzionali alla riuscita della storia.

Interestingly, Goscinny helped Marx in the writing of the communist manifesto. At #17, this is another clear attack by the writers on social and political issues.
Wiki states:
"The book represents a particularly potent satire of 1970s France.

Ce n'est pas un mauvais tome des Aventures d'Astérix mais ce n'est pas non plus un des pires. Je n'ai pas du tout été émerveillé par celle-ci. Je dois avouer qu'après 17 tomes, j'aime moins Astérix que lors de mon adolescence. Je ne peux pas dire pourquoi. J'ai eu beaucoup plus de plaisir à relire Tintin. Le pire c'est que ceux d'Uderzo en solo sont pire. Je vais profiter des bons qu'il me reste à lire.
The Mansions of the Gods – As the Roman’s sponsor a neighboring suburban development, can our favorite villagers resist the corrupting temptations of modernity? Terrific satire of assimilation and upward-mobility
il est génial celui-là ! Exploitation des esclaves, lobbying écologiste d'Idefix sur fond de projets immobiliers... Un très bon épisode qui met une fois de plus en scène une manoeuvre de César pour asservir les irréductibles gaulois par des moyens détournés.
A really nice book to read ....... and it is very enjoyable!
It shows how they first like Romans coming but then they unite and drive them out of their area! The best character is of course the bard!
I've never read this before. This Asterix was really good. It's ashame, that trees don't grow as fast as Getafix' instant-growth trees.
Asterix et al take on the might of avaricious proerty developers, and quite right too.

Ketawa geli pas di bagian pohon yang sudah ditebang, tiba-tiba bisa tumbuh kembali dalam sekejap dengan jamu ajaib Panoramix.

Another of the non-comic book format novels - still great!
Captilism occurs in asterix. Great story as usual
An Architect named Squareonthehypotenuse!
I love Asterix. I think it´s one of the best comics ever!
Bagaimana dunia properti mengubah dunia, digambarkan dengan baik oleh Goscinny dalam komik ini. Tenaga buruh, kerusakan lingkungan akibat perluasan lahan permukiman, dan kerasnya usaha agen properti meyakinkan calon pembeli digambarkan dalam konteks masa 50 SM saat Asterix dan Obelix melawan usaha Julius Caesar dan pimpinan projek 'Negeri Dewa-Dewi' yang ingin menggusur kehidupan bangsa Galia yang tenang di desa Armorix.
Caesar memerintahkan untuk membuat apartement di dekat desa Asterix.
Setelah orang-orang romawi bertetangga dengan desa Galia, perekonomian bertumbuh, tapi persaingan sesama orang Galia menjadi sengit. Akhirnya Asterix harus turun tangan menyelesaikan masalah mengusir orang romawi dengan cara membuat mereka tidak betah dan kembali ke Roma.
