– Translating Asterix into Silesian was great fun. As always, Monsieur Goscinny gave some interesting puzzles for the translator – word games. The help of consultants on the Silesian side (four generations of Silesians helped) and the French side was useful. We finally have it! We're going to… Szpile Ôlimpid! – this is how Grzegorz Buchalik sums up the work on the translation.
The story of a Gallic settlement that bravely resists the Roman invaders is a must-have on the shelf of every comic book fan. The immortal French wit of the series created by René Goscinny and Albert Myślo has been attracting new generations of readers for many years, and the clever Asterix, the naive Obelix and their companions have become among the favorite heroes of the mass imagination.

“Asterix at the Olympic Games” is an extra edition of the comic book “Asterix at the Olympic Games” translated (directly from French) into Silesian. The unusual, exceptionally colorful and specific Silesian language, combined with Goscinny and Myślo's unique humor, is a very good show. The comic will also be a good aid in the cultivation of this language.
Translating Asterix into Silesian would be a real blast. Like Monsieur Goscinny Doł, it's time for some fun players for the translator – word games. The help of consultants from Stōnd (the Ślōnzok family members helped) and from France was helpful. Finally, let's say it fertich! We're going to the Olympics! – Grzegorz Buchalik.
The volume “Asterix on the heels of the Olympics” (“Asterix aux jeux olympiques”) was published in 1968 in anticipation of the Winter Olympics in Grenoble. The Aquarium camp receives the news that the extremely athletic Markus Musklotwardus will represent Rome at the Olympic Games. In the competition, I also want to compete with Gala, who is more than a lynx, but does not meet the basic requirements – in the competition, only native Greeks and free Hellenic citizens (Romans are tolerated) can compete. Gale, I pretend to be the Romans and I send my braver boys – Asterix and Ôbelix. So how can I use the magical mishōng without the participants daring to take part in doping? Asterix competes in the competition, but without any help. The situation may be resolved by Fyrlokotlix's prompt… The story of a Gallic village, where Kero bravely fights against the Roman invaders, is definitely a must-see for every comic book fan. The immortal French series, kero, was created by René Goscinny and Albert Łączo, which has been read by famous generations for many years, and the clever Asterix, the naive Ôbeliks and their companions have become among the favorite heroes of the mass imagination.
