Banned Paperback Book by Berkley Medallion 12 Provocative Works 1961
BANNED is a collection of writings that span over six centuries of Western literature. The collection demonstrates the absurdity of literary censorship throughout the ages. From the days of Boccaccio to our own time, the censor has busied himself emasculating and destroying whatever displeased him.
In BANNED you will find a selection from the Marquis de Sade's Juliette, as well as one of the more famous episodes from Casanova's Memoirs. The nineteenth century selections include such characteristic works as Tolstoy's demonic Kreutzer Sonata and Wilde's frenetic Salome.
Among contemporary writers will be found outstanding selections from such writers as Henry Miller, Theodore Dreiser, Alberto Moravia, William Burroughs, Aldous Huxley and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Now, for the first time anywhere you may read the outstanding work of twelve great authors who have one thing in common – sometime, somewhere, they were BANNED.
