Asterix and the Great Divide: Album #25 (Asterix #25)
The path of true love never did run smoothly—especially when the sweethearts’ fathers have split their town in half. That’s the problem for Histrionix and the beautiful Melodrama, son and daughter of two rival chieftains. So the star-crossed lovers call in Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix to sort everything out. Can the trusty trio persuade the village to reunite? Maybe some m...more

The whole series is very funny and engrossing. The premise is that of a tiny community in ancient Gaul that has firmly resisted the occupation of the Roman Empire now all of Gaul is conquered by the Romans except for the small village surround by several roman camps, thanks to a magic potion produced/provided by the druid that grants outstanding strength. In all-ways, I learned quite a bit about the Roman army through this series. It has been translated into a countless number of languages, but...more
Depuis ma jeunesse, je déteste le Grand Fossé. C'est le premier que ma mère m'a acheté avec Astérix chez les Helvètes. Celui-ci est vraiment mauvais. Il y a plusieurs jeux de mots qui ne sont pas drôle. L'histoire de Roméo et Juliette à la sauce gauloise est vraiment d'un ennuie. Même les pirates ne m'ont pas fait rire. La fin avec les romains est complètement stupide. C'en est une insulte à mon intelligence.
Well it's good,I suppose I'm not sure though. Not one of my favourites.
An allegory of the Berlin Wall in the guise of a Romeo and Juliet tale.
There's a lot of repeating ideas, jokes, I don't know some how, it lacks the originality in the plot but Uderzo's art is still priceless.

Reading the Pendragon Cycle reminded me of these comics, as they have some thematic overlap with the Roman Empire, Gaul, Britannia, bards, druids, etc. I own a couple of these, but read tons of them at the library as a kid. Loving the wordplay and names all over again. :)

Un pueblo galo, vecino al de Asterix, está separado por una gran zanja y sus dos jefes están enemistados. Para vencer a su enemigo, una de las facciones se alía con el invasor romano. Asterix, Obelix y Panoramix acuden al rescate.
Tegneserie. Da Asterix og hans venner skal m�gle i en landsbystrid mellem to herskesyge h�vdinge, indblandes romerne. Uheldigvis kommer de i besiddelse af den fam�se trylledrik.
Asterix e Obelix aiutano una coppia di fidanzati separati dall'odio delle loro famiglie... una riproposizione di Romeo e Giulietta...gallici!
One of the better Asterix stories, with some sharp satire that goes beyond the usual silly names (great as those are).
J'ai surtout besoin de me souvenir lesquels j'ai lu, pour ne pas partir emprunter les mêmes à la bibliothèque !
This is the first of Asterix comics I've read, and the whole series is very funny and engrossing. The premise is that of a tiny community in ancient Gaul that has firmly resisted the occupation of the Roman Empire thanks to a magic potion produced by the local druid that grants exceptional strength. In retrospect, I learned quite a bit about the Roman military through this series. It has been translated into a huge number of languages, but they're almost not worth reading in anything but the ori...more
Sátira al extremismo político y sus vicios bien acotada al mundo de los galos. Magnífica.
Premier album sans Goscinny... On sent le coup de moins bon, mais ça reste correct.
Roméo et Juliette à la Astérix en plus d'inclure des éléments modernes.
It as a commic book has high cwalute i liked it.
Another fine Asterix mission.
Good Cold War puns.
I love Asterix. I think it´s one of the best comics ever!
Asterix the Great Divide – an excellent companion to Asterix and Caesar’s Gift, this one analogizes two-party governance to a Romeo & Juliet-style feud, as Druid Getafix calls upon a village that’s literally split right down the middle by competing co-chieftains.
Cerita ini mengingatkanku pada kisah cinta orang tuaku di sebuah desa di Cirebon, yang terbagi dua oleh sebuah kali. Di bagian utara daerah "Sunda", di bagian selatan daerah "Jawa". Ayah berasal dari utara dan ibu dari selatan, tapi toh berjodoh...
Bedanya, permusuhan antar golongan utara dan selatan nggak separah di komik Asterix.

Star-crossed luvers Histrionix & Melodrama seek help from Asterix & Obelix to mediate peace between their bickering dads. 1st solo by Uderzo after Goscinny passed away. Ho-hum.
I think this is the first attempt of Uderzo to go solo. Not bad but he can not reach Goscini's grandeur. Subsequent stories get worse.
Asterix and especially Obelix ath their best..just think of a romantic Obelix..slightly heart-broken..
hihi.. salah sekian dari buku yang mengisi masa kecilku dan membekas banget.. asterix beneran lucu!
Asterix meets Romeo and Juliet - a great concept!
Best retelling of Romeo and Juliet ever!
Ho..ho...hi..hi...ha..ha..
