The sights , sounds and tastes of Corsica,
By Gary Selikow (Great Kush) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Goscinny and Uderzo Present An Asterix Adventure: Asterix in Corsica (Paperback)
First published in French in 1973 as Ast'rix en Corse, Asterix in Corsica was first published in English in 1979.Asterix and friends free a Corsican chieftain, exiled by the Romans, at the camp of Totorum, and he asks them to accompany him to Corsica, to see how they deal with the Romans there. There they help the Corsicans to defeat their Roman oppressors, through adventures in the marquis, and get to grips with the proud and touchy Corsicans, and their complicated clan feuds, while experiencing the wonderful sights, sounds, scents and tastes of Corsica. Particularly amusing are the names of the Roman camps around Corsica on the map at the front of the book, and the culinary names of the Corsican clan chiefs!

This review is from: Asterix in Corsica Pb (Paperback)
The vendor stated the book was in good condition and it was. The only thing keeping it from being in excellent condition was that it was older paper but that is just fine. The vendor sent this product immediately. It arrived several days earlier than expected.
