“Whether the family’s Swiss trip is booked or only a dream, the Gauls get there first. The send-up of Swiss clichés is as funny on the sofa as on a mountain train.”
To save a poisoned Roman, the Gauls must climb for a flower.
Asterix in Switzerland is a classic comic adventure about a dash to Helvetia for a rare flower that could save a life.
In Condatum, the Roman governor spends tax money on lavish parties, and Quaestor Vexatius Sinusitus has come to investigate. But he has been poisoned, and Getafix needs a little flower found only on the highest peaks. So Asterix and Obelix set off for Helvetia, while the quaestor stays safe in the Gaulish village.
Why readers love it
- Gags on all things Swiss, from bank vaults to yodelling and holey cheese.
- A moonlit night as the heroes ride off "over the hills and far away".
- Nods to Swiss legend, like an archery scene that recalls William Tell.
By René Goscinny · Illustrated by Albert Uderzo · English · Asterix series
Quick answers
What is Helvetia? The Latin name for the land that is now Switzerland.
Is there anything parents should know? It is playful slapstick, but the plot turns on a poisoning, and the governor's decadent feasts are played for laughs.
