Die vyfde boek in die gewilde Asterix-reeks, in 'n splinternuwe, sprankelende Afrikaanse gedaante. Die Romeine rig ’n reuseheining op om die klein Galliese dorpie waarin Asterix en Obelix woon, af te kamp van die res van Gallie.

Die sesde boek in die gewilde Asterix-reeks, wat groot en klein wereldwyd bekoor. Caesar beskuldig Cleopatra daarvan daar haar volk agteruitgegaan het. Cleopatra is woedend, en beveel dadelik haar beste argitek om binne drie maande 'n spoggerige nuwe paleis vir Caesar te bou. Om so 'n onmoontlike taak te verrig, benodig die argitek dringend die hulp van Kasterolix en sy towerkuns.

Eers wil ek iets net baie duidelik maak: Hierdie is 'n Joernaal en nie 'n dagboek nie. Ek weet wat dit op die omslag se, maar toe Ma hierdie ding gaan koop het, het ek spesifiek gevra om een te kry waarop daar nie "dagboek" staan nie. Die enigste rede hoekom ek enigsins ja gese het vir die ding, is sodat ek dit eendag kan gebruik as ek ryk en beroemd is. Maar nou is ek eers vasgekeer tussen 'n klomp morone.

Vandag is die eerste dag van skool. Toe dink ek ek kan maar netsowel in hierdie boek skryf om die tyd vinniger te laat verbygaan.
