16- Asterix in Switzerland | PDF | 14,6 Mb Asterix in Switzerland is the sixteenth volume of the Asterix comic book series, by Ren? Goscinny (stories) and Albert Uderzo (illustrations). It was originally serialized in Pilote issues 557-578 in 1970 and translated into English in 1973. Roman governor Varius Flavus of Condatum has been putting aside for himself (i.e. embezzling) the greatest share of the taxes he has collected. The money he sends to Rome consists of just a few coins. When Quaestor Vexatius Sinusitus is sent to investigate, Flavus poisons him to avoid being discovered. Dissatisfied with Flavus' doctors, Sinusitus calls for the druid Getafix. Getafix can brew an antidote for him, but an essential ingredient of the potion is a flower called the silver star (edelweiss), which only grows on the highest mountains. Getafix sends Asterix and Obelix to Helvetia (Switzerland) to retrieve the flower. He also insists that Sinusitus remain in their Gaulish village as a hostage in order to guarantee Asterix and Obelix's return. This is in fact a bluff to get Sinusitus away from Flavus, whom Getafix suspects is the would-be killer.
