Obelix and Co: Book 23
Author(s): Goscinny, Rene
Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders. BOOK 23 Julius Caesar has devised his most cunning attack yet on the indomitable Gauls - he sends Caius Preposterus, a bright young graduate of the Latin School of Economics, to corrupt them by introducing them to big business. But do wealth and success bring happiness?
