Features: This collection selects the top ten banned books in the world, the most controversial and longest banned works. The authors include those who gained fame by writing about sexuality, such as D.H. Lawrence, the pioneer of erotic literature and one of the world's three great banned authors; Henry Miller, who boldly and openly described sexual desires in a way unmatched before or after, with his works banned for an exceptionally long time in the American literary scene; and Vladimir Nabokov, the leader of the Russian decadent movement, widely recognized as one of the most influential novelists after World War II, yet criticized as a pornography author after the sensational success of Lolita; as well as Marquis de Sade, the founding father of French erotica, who was imprisoned eight times for his manipulation of women and writing obscene novels, spending 30 years in prison and facing three death sentences that were never carried out; alongside Japanese author Shūichi Ikeda and Spanish author Mario Vargas Llosa, who gained fame for writing about the lives of prostitutes and erotic literature. These ten banned books are realistic and morally corrupt, featuring explicit and unrestrained descriptions of sexuality that are shocking to the eyes, candid confessions exposing personal privacy, works hailed as ecstatic bedroom stories, and avant-garde literature that depicts prostitutes and advocates sexual liberation. This collection preserves the original essence, blending the finest and the filthiest—please let the readers decide for themselves.
