Forbidden books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Books have been outlawed and burned many times in history when they are considered to contain forbidden knowledge. Some of them:

Index Librorum Prohibitorum in the 16th century. The Catholic church forbade some books that could be against their faith

During European domination by the Nazis books were burned by firemen. This probably inspired Ray Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451.

During the Chinese cultural revolution many books were forbidden and readers were killed.

During the military dictatorship in Brazil books were not forbidden, but many people were known to have disappeared because they were caught with books related to Communism. This "related to" sometimes extended to any red cover book. A student was once in prison for carrying a book on Cubism, as the police thought it was about Cuban revolution.

Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose
Fahrenheit 451
