Цензура в той или иной форме существовала почти столько же, сколько и письменное слово, в то время как определения того, что считается "приемлемым" в опубликованных произведениях, менялись на протяжении веков и от культуры к культуре. "Запрещенные книги" исследуют, почему некоторые из самых важных произведений мировой литературной классики и оригинальных научно-популярных изданий когда-то считались слишком спорными для чтения широкой публикой - будь то за оспаривание расовых или сексуальных норм, высмеивание общественных деятелей или просто за то, что их сочли неподходящими для юных читателей. От запрета "Все тихо на западном фронте" и неоднократного подавления "Происхождения видов" до скандала, спровоцированного любовником леди Чаттерли, записи предлагают увлекательный хронологический отчет о цензуре и удивительной роли, которую некоторые запрещенные книги сыграли в изменении истории.
