Banned books

Yesterday I noticed in our University’s bookstore a sale of a nice collection of “banned books” (once banned in different countries). In fact there were some of the finest books written by human being and now are recognized as classics (like Orwell’s “1984”, Darwin’s “Origin of Species”, Nabokov’s “Lolita”, Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”, Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” and others). Well, obviously best books have a “better chance” to be banned. Such an irony, isn’t it?
