Politics

Banned, censored and burned books

Power doesn't usually like uncomfortable questions or being challenged. From the moment writing was born, works have been censored, banned, or condemned to the stake. This isn't just a legacy of the past. In 2024, more than 10,000 books were banned from public libraries and academies in the United States. We've compiled a selection of books that have been banned, stretching from Ancient Greece to the 21st century. Naturally, this is just a very small sample of the books that have been ostracized for political, ideological, or moral reasons.
