When Caesar offers a gift, be suspicious...very suspicious. Upon his release from the Roman Army, Tremensdelirius gets the deed to Asterix's little Gaulish village. But he swaps it for a drink in the tavern--and soon the owner and his family are off to claim their prize. What's going to happen? Surprisingly, Asterix has a different view of the situation than his friends.

À Rome, le légionnaire Roméomontaigus, un ivrogne, fête sa libération de l’armée après vingt ans de carrière.

Comme il a insulté Jules César, celui-ci le punit en lui offrant comme cadeau le fameux village des irréductibles Gaulois.

Irrécupérable, il échange ce cadeau contre quelques coupes de vin avec Orthopédix le restaurateur gaulois.

Celui-ci et sa famille vont prendre possession de leur biens...

Asterix Caesar's Gift – big spoof of the political “silly season” as several candidates campaign to be the village’s next chief, sparked originally by Caesar’s mischievious deed of the village land to a no-account legionary (see also Asterix and the Great Divide)

Another excellent addition, at #21.

The Wiki story synopsis:

"....Having completed twenty years of service, the two friends await their honesta missio (Latin:honorary discharge) for the morning. Their services will be paid in land shares, awarded by Julius Caesar himself. Egganlettus seems quite sober but Tremensdelirious is already in a stage of drunkenness. He begins to express his opinion on Julius Caesar just as the night patrol enters the establishment. The veter...more

On a encore droit à un Astérix dans la moyenne. Au moins, cette fois-ci, il n'est pas question d'enlèvement ou d'otage. C'est surtout une histoire qui se passe à l'intérieur du village. Un romain reçoit comme cadeau de César le village d'Astérix. Pour de l'alcool, ce romain donne le village à un gaulois qui décide l'aller y vivre. Lorsque celui-ci veut devenir chef, la pagaille commence à s’installer.

Une BD correcte.

encore une perfide manoeuvre de César pour vaincre nos irréductibles gaulois.

Evidemment, un malheureux hasard va faire capoter le projet, tout en plongeant tout de même le village dans la confusion.

Un album qui joue beaucoup sur le rejet de l'étranger dans nos chers villages de France...

buku ini sebenernya lebih mahal daripada Smurf. Tapi kok cetakannya gak banget ya? kayak hasil foto copyan.
Sayang... Aku pikir buku cacat, tapi pas di liat semua hasil cetakannya kayak gitu semua.
Jadi kasih bintang 2 aja ah.. biarin aja dibilang gak objektif juga.

One of the Asterix books that's not in standard comic format - still good though!

I really like asterix, especially obelix (he is not fat, what a confident he has).

This book tells us to fight whatever we had. Don't give up easily. But, most of all, friendship is number one.

The story began with a caesar's gift. The Caesar gave the Gaul's village to the legioner that later he change the gift with drink. the new owner came to the village to take his right, but of couse, the gauls laught at the gift, because their village is not part of caesar's region. ...more

Asterix vs. Caesar – “novelization” of the ‘60s cartoon, itself derived from a combination of the plots of “Legionary,” “Gladiator,” and “Laurel Wreath.” Nothing to see here, move along.

his series was originally written in French. My brother (who spent some time there) brought back the English translations when I was young and even though I didn't really understand all of the humor, I loved them.
