Forbidden book pdf Continue Wikipedia article list It was suggested that lists of banned books be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed from June 2020. Main article: Book of Censorship This article is about books banned by governments. For books prohibited by other groups, see the display of previously prohibited books in the American Library prohibited books or other printed works, such as essays or plays that are prohibited by law or to which free access is not permitted by other means. The practice of banning books is a form of censorship, from political, legal, religious, moral or (less often) commercial motives. This article lists notable banned books and works, giving a brief context because each book has been banned. Prohibited books include fictional works such as novels, poems and plays and non-fiction works such as biographies and dictionaries. Since there are many banned books, some publishers seek to publish these books. The most famous examples are the Paris Obelisk Press, which published Henry Miller's sexually explicit novel Tropic of Cancer, and Olympia Press, which published William Burroughs's Naked Lunch. Both men, father Jack Kahane and son Maurice Girodias, who specialised in English-language books, were banned at the time in the Uk and the United States.

In many territories, distribution, promotion or some translations of the Bible have historically been prohibited or prohibited. See the Censorship of the Bible. Many countries around the world have their own methods of restricting access to books, although prohibitions vary from one country to another: hate speech is, for example, prohibited in a number of countries such as Sweden, although the same books may be legal in the United States or the United Kingdom, where the only prohibition is on child pornography. Despite opposition from the American Library Association (ALA), books are still banned in school and public libraries throughout the United States. This is usually the result of complaints from parents who believe that specific books are not appropriate for their children (such as books on sexual orientation, such as And Tango Makes Three). In many libraries, including the British Library and the Library of Congress, erotic books are housed in separate collections in restricted reading rooms. Some libraries may need a special app to read certain books. Libraries sometimes avoid buying controversial books, and personal opinion of librarians from time to time affects the choice of books.
