Betiltott könyvek [Banned books] [Translated by Éva Tordai - Edited by Eszter Árkos.] Budapest, HVG. 196 p. First Hungarian edition. Publisher's hardcover. Copyright © 2022 Dorling Kindersley Limited A Penguin Random House Company. - -- - Attacks on sexual norms, calls for violence, blatant mockery of church and religion - just some of the reasons why governments and censors throughout history have believed that a work of literature should not be allowed to reach a wider readership. From The Origin of Species, to Bovary, to American Psycho, a whole range of masterpieces have been banned for their revolutionary views, their outspokenness or their unvarnished style. This lavishly illustrated volume is a must-read: it traces the history of censorship from the beginnings of literacy to the present day, with special pages devoted to banned Hungarian literature.

Store Description

The Abaúj Antique Bookshop which was founded in 1996 is one of the most significant representatives of the Hungarian second-hand book trade. The second-hand bookshop I lead organizes numerous book auctions year by year in Budapest. I make a catalogue out of the most unique themes every summer. My favourites are autographed books and manuscripts. Autographed books and manuscripts of internationally-recognised writers, poets, historical figures and celebrities can be found in my collection. You cannot even imagine how many rare books and manuscripts can be found in Central Europe! I have created the abaujantique.com website in order to make the world aware of us and get to know us. I would like to get to know your interests and add rare items to your collection. Kind Regards from a booklover, János Pogány
