of the world. Listing the important coinage of every nation from
Afghanistan to Zanzibar, it illustrates with more than 4,000 photos all

books of its kind." -Coin Dealer magazine. "A handy reference for the
general collector of world coinage." -Numismatic Scrapbook
Published in 1932, Aldous Huxley’s
Brave New World is his most
popular novel, although it might not have been his most important. It
was frequently challenged with banning attempts, and is still considered
controversial. The reader is swept into Huxley’s vision of a future
based on science and technology. The novel depicts drugs, sexuality, and
suicide and reveals Huxley’s disdain for the culture of the United
States. A group of parents attempted to get the book banned because they
felt there was an overemphasis on negativity.
A controversial book for years, Twain’s novel shows a contrast between
indulgent childhood dreams and blatant cruel realities, bringing out the
themes of equality, justice and human rights. In this book, Huck fakes
his own death to run away to the river. There he meets an escaped slave
named Jim. Together, they seek liberation and their journey tests them
at every turn.
While Huck looks forward to returning to a freewheeling life, Jim
looks for the personal freedom he has never known. With the entry of Tom
Sawyer, Huck faces a dilemma of whether to return home or risk his life
to help Jim achieve freedom.
Nabokov’s
Lolita caused a storm of controversy when it was
published in 1955 in France, and those controversies have shadowed the
book ever since. This novel explores the mind of a pedophile named
Humbert Humbert, who narrates his life and obsession for nymphets like
the 12-year-old Dolores Haze. It was banned in France, the United
Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina. But in America, it
was a huge success and is said to be the first book since
Gone With The Wind to have sold 100,000 copies in the first three weeks.
This book by Salman Rushdie sparked controversies galore because of the controversial topic it touched. The title,
The Satanic Verses,
refers to an incident that is disputed between fact and fiction. Some
called it a blasphemous treatment of the Islamic faith as Rushdie refers
to the Prophet Muhammad as Mahound, which is the medieval name for the
devil. In Pakistan, there were riots in 1989 over the book where a few
people were killed, and many were injured in India.
In spite of Rushdie issuing an apology, the Iranian spiritual leader
Ayatollah Khomeini condemned the author publicly, and went to the extent
of putting a $1 million bounty for killing the author, increasing that
to $3 million if the assassin was Iranian. Even Venezuelan officials
threatened 15 months of prison for anyone who owned or even read the
book. Japan imposed a fine on anyone selling the English edition and a
Japanese translator was said to be stabbed to death for getting involved
with the book. Major U.S. booksellers removed this book from the
shelves because they received death threats. Rushdie himself lived in
hiding for almost a decade. Such was the animosity towards the book, and
in a way it makes it all the more appealing.
A recent book that surrounded by controversy since its publication is
The Da Vinci Code
by Dan Brown. The book gives a fictional account of characters
revealing a hidden truth concealed by the Catholic Church for centuries,
including the divinity of Christ, his celibacy, and the possibility of a
genetic heritage. Most of the complaints against the book are due to
the speculation and misrepresentation of the history of Roman Catholic
Church and the basic questioning of the tenets of Christianity. The book
was also criticized for inaccurate description of history, geography,
European art, and architecture.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the controversial
books as there are many more. But these are certainly some of the books
that have been considered
some of the most controversial books ever published.
