Forbidden Knowledge

Some books were once banned or challenged — for politics, language, or simply making readers think. Today, many are classics.

Examples

• 1984 — George Orwell — surveillance and freedom.
• Fahrenheit 451 — Ray Bradbury — censorship and control.
• To Kill a Mockingbird — Harper Lee — justice and race.
