Den store Asterix 11 indeholder de to klassiske historier Kejserens gave og Asterix opdager Amerika samt et omfattende og rigt illustreret ekstramateriale på 60 sider om, hvordan Goscinny og Uderzo skabte tegneserien, sjove detaljer fra serien, persongalleriet, livet i Romerriget og meget mere. Asterix-historierne bringes i den originale rækkefølge, som Goscinny og Uderzo skabte dem. Om Kejserens gave:Traditionelt får legionærer efter tyve års tro tjeneste en jordlod i afskedsgave – men for at lave sjov med drukkenbolten Spiritus Gravis forærer Cæsar ham i stedet den lille gallerby højt mod nord. Imidlertid ender ejerbeviset – som betaling for en værtshusregning – i hænderne på kroværten Orthopædix, der sammen med sin kone og datter møder glad og fro op hos gallerne og gør krav på byen. De bliver mødt med rungende latter, men Majestix får lidt ondt af Orthopædix og tilbyder ham at åbne et værthus i byen. Men snart opstår der gnidninger mellem gallerne – måske ville Orthopædix egentlig være en bedre høvding end Majestix? En hidsig valgkamp bryder ud, og midt i det hele dukker Spiritus Gravis op og vil have sin gave tilbage … og han allierer sig med romerne! Om Asterix opdager Amerika:En af ingredienserne i Miraculix’ trylledrik er fisk – men Hørmetix er udgået for frisk fisk, og derfor tilbyder Asterix og Obelix at tage på fisketur på havet. En voldsom storm fører dem imidlertid langt væk hjemmefra, og da de endelig kan gå i land på en kyst, møder de underlige dyr og et fjerprydet og bemalet folkefærd, som de antager for at være romerske lejesoldater – og som de har meget svært ved at kommunikere med. Da det fremmede folks høvding inisterer på at gifte sin datter bort til Obelix, tager Asterix og Obelix benene på nakken – blot for at støde ind i endnu et folkefærd, der antager de to gallere for at være vilde indfødte i en helt nyopdaget verden. Efter nye kommunikationsproblemer ender vores venner i et iskoldt og snedækket land, hvor de modtages af den balstyriske og hærdebrede Olmer Olmsøn hin Varsomme … Om serien:Den store Asterix er den ultimative luksusudgave af Goscinny og Uderzos populære tegneserie. Større format end nogen sinde før og i solid indbinding med stofryg, guldpræg og relieflak. Der udkommer fremover to nye bind af Den store Asterix hvert år.

"Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, a first-generation Taiwanese American who has a 'zine and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them. But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken become best friends, a friendship built of late-night conversations over cigarettes, long drives along the California coast, and the textbook successes and humiliations of everyday college life.

National Bestseller as seen on Tucker Carlson, The Ingraham Angle, The Megyn Kelly Show, The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton and more! What really happened behind the scenes at the Trump White House during the COVID pandemic?When Dr. Scott W. Atlas was tapped by Donald Trump to join his COVID Task Force, he was immediately thrust into a maelstrom of scientific disputes, policy debates, raging egos, politically motivated lies, and cynical media manipulation. Numerous myths and distortions surround the Trump Administration’s handling of the crisis, and many pressing questions remain unanswered. Did the Trump team really bungle the response to the pandemic? Were the right decisions made about travel restrictions, lockdowns, and mask mandates? Are Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx competent medical experts or timeserving bureaucrats? Did half a million people really die unnecessarily because of Trump’s incompetence? So far no trusted figure has emerged who can tell the story straight—until now. In this unfiltered insider account, Dr. Scott Atlas brings us directly into the White House, describes the key players in the crisis, and assigns credit and blame where it is deserved. The book includes shocking evaluations of the Task Force members’ limited knowledge and grasp of the science of COVID and details heated discussions with Task Force members, including all of the most controversial episodes that dominated headlines for weeks. Dr. Atlas tells the truth about the science and documents the media’s relentless campaign to suffocate it, which included canceled interviews, journalists’ off-camera hostility in White House briefings, and intentional distortion of facts. He also provides an inside account of the delays and timelines involving vaccines and other treatments, evaluates the impact of the lockdowns on American public health, and indicts the relentless war on truth waged by Big Business and Big Tech. No other book contains these revelations. Millions of people who trust Dr. Atlas will want to read this dramatic account of what really went on behind the scenes in the White House during the greatest public health crisis of the 21st century.
