It is really surprising to see how quickly the Asterix albums actually get quite good, and while this is not as good as The Golden Sickle (namely due to some of the content which I believe drags it down somewhat) this album is still gold (pardon the pun, and also despite that which drags it down). Asterix and the Goths carries on from where The Golden Sickle ends. Asterix and Obelix have just returned from Lutetia with Getafix's sickle, and Getafix now gets ready to travel to the Forest of Carn...more
This is the third Asterix adventure. It starts with Getafix getting ready to leave the village for the annual druid conference (which is what he was getting ready for in the previous book Asterix and the Golden Sickle, although both are still stand-alone). Unfortunately Getafix ends up getting kidnapped by the Goths who need a druid to help them invade the Roman-invaded France. It is down to Asterix and Obelix to rescue him.

kisahnya bermula dari ketika getafix akan berangkat ke hutan carnute untuk mengikuti pertemuan sekaligus perlombaan antar druid (penyihir?) untuk memilih druid of the years. asterix yang menghawatirkan keselamatan getafix turut mengantarkan bersama obelix, namun hanya sampai ke tepi hutan carnute, berhubung mereka berdua bukan druid jadi tidak diperbolehkan masuk. jadi mereka berdua menunggu di tepi hutan.

Amazing! Now one of my Asterix favourites for sure. A very ironic and another clever one of those "how it all began" stories: How Getafix instigates the dissolution of Germania into rival states. Visigoths from the East take on Ostrogoths from the West.
There's a history lesson later on for the readers explaining how the Gauls have instigated Two Millennia of German infighting. However comparisons with the extremely sensitive World War II issues are cleverly avoided - Goscinny is a clever storyt...more

C'est drôle mais moi je ne trippe pas tant que ça sur cet épisode des aventures d'Astérix. Je suis même en train de me penser les bandes dessinées d'Astérix m'ennuie un peu. Dans ce tome, c'est presque la même histoire que dans Astérix le Gaulois mais là ce sont les Goths qui ont capturé Panoramix. Astérix et Obélix partent libérer leur druide. J'ai vraiment aimé la fin quand nos héros sèment la discorde chez les Goths. À part quelques petites blagues isolées, je ne peux pas dire que cet album m...more
I had forgotten how much I loved these books as a kid! So when I one that I'd never read at Schoenhof's Foreign Books, I HAD to get it. I'll never be objective about these books, just because I have SUCH fond memories Asterix et al growing up.
Anyways, as other reviewers have said this is the third in the Asterix series. It doesn't really matter what order you read them in, since each adventure stands alone.

Un peu moins bon que les précédents, le voyage chez les Goths d'Astérix est le prétexte à une caricature bon enfant de nos chers voisins d'outre-Rhin...
L'idée d'utiliser une police gothique pour les bulles des Goths est géniale, laissant le texte lisible tout en justifiant l'incompréhension régnant entre les personnages de langues différentes.

The Goths capture the Druid with a hope that they will be able to find out the recipe for his magic potion and become invincible. Asterix and Obelix set out to rescue the Druid. The three hatch a plan wherein they set the Goths against each other before freeing themselves and mayhem reigns supreme!
Asterix lives in a world where Romans march through, on a regular basis. "See the world," one will mutter.
"Meet new people," another responds. Clearly, the Roman aren't too keen to have signed up. Asterix's best friend is Obelix. Their tribe's druid/medicine man is named Getafix. Need I say more?

Asterix the Goths – endless early Germanic intratribal warfare explained when the Goths take Getafix hostage across the Rhine

Dunno if it's that I used to read these in German, and now read it in English for the first time, but this is not as good as I remembered. Or maybe the Asterix books just aren't as good when you're an adult.
Loving the use of Gothic type font for Gothic language here - Goscinny's puns, wordplays and little jokes about the difference between cultures make this an amusing read also for those of us who's childhood has passed.
I'm re-reading the Asterix series. They're everywhere in the library, so I pick them at random.
Awesome as always. I love the little details, like using goth fonts for the Goth's speech xD

Hilarious, good clean fun. Especially liked Valuaddedtax, the name of the British druid. :D

Storia classica di spionaggio. La caratterizzazione dei goti è un po’ piatta.
Una nueva entrega del galo donde lo que pierde en mordacidad se gana en lucidez.
The inimitable and indomitable Gauls. What's not to like?
Albert Uderzo's artwork is truly great in this book and whoever colored them also did an excellent job. Great translation and funny as ever.
A fun story with lots of punching.
The beginning of the Golden Age of Asterix.
Le graphique est stable.
Really Really funney!!!!!
In a word... great!
Laughing Riot !!!
simply terrifIC! :)
