The great divide of life and everything

Possibly my favourite Asterix book. I love how they divide the village into the 'Left side' and 'Right side'. It wasn't till years after I first read it did I realise the it represented left & right wing politics, the cold war, the struggle between democracy & autocracy..... the parallels to real life could go on. The most prominent message of the book is how unscrupulous people exploit and widen the divides between people. Brilliant storytelling.

10/10
