The night is about to fall on the Gallic village. Three mysterious horsemen present themselves at the hut of the chief Abraracourcix. Thus begins the 38th adventure of Asterix. With a circulation of five million copies, including two million for French-speaking countries, La fille de Vercingetorix is now released in bookshops by Albert-René *.
Adrenaline, a sulky and indomitable heroine
For the first time, the authors Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad, have highlighted a young woman. Adrenaline is the daughter of the famous chef Vercingetorix. Above all, she is a teenager: she is rarely in a good mood and does not like being forced to wear clothes. "It's nuuul to dress as a girl," she says.

- Asterix (@asterixofficiel) October 14, 2019She's still going to make two friends, two teenagers like her. Blinix and Selfix, the sons of the fishmonger and blacksmith, will help him escape from the village. Adrenaline is so indomitable that neither the Romans, who are supposed to capture it, nor the pirates want it.
Teen language with Gallic sauce
This character with strong character has given a hard time to the screenwriter Jean-Yves Ferri. "The difficulty was not to marginalize the heroes, he explains to Europe 1. Despite the temptation to follow Adrenaline, we are in an adventure of Asterix."

We find the salt of the Asterix saga in history and dialogues. The arrival of Adrenaline causes generational conflicts. The language of the youth is reviewed in the Gallic sauce and Obelix, eternal teenager, enjoys moderately to be heard by the young rebel that "it sucks, the menhirs".
