About the Book: This paperback collector’s volume compiles volumes 25–27 of Asterix. In Asterix and the Great Divide, star‑crossed lovers Melodrama and Histrionix—children of rival chieftains—turn to Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix to heal a village split by a chasm and thwart treacherous Roman meddling. In Asterix and the Black Gold, the Gauls journey to the Middle East for the druid’s missing “rock oil,” outwit the double‑crossing agent Dubbelosix, and discover an ingenious potion substitute. In Asterix and Son, a baby mysteriously appears at the village door—revealed as Caesar’s son—whose safety becomes paramount as Brutus plots against Caesar, culminating in a royal revelation and celebration.
