Marxism is probably the single most controversial political theory ever manifested. Capitalism has its critics, but no book on capitalism has ever been banned to the degree that Marx has been. Maybe it was because of that whole U.S.S.R. thing.

The first purely literary piece to hit the most banned list. Huckleberry Finn is considered a racially insensitive book because of its use of the n-word. The book has been targeted by the NAACP and was a part of a famous law suit Monterio v. The Tempe Union High School.
The Call of the Wildby Jack London

ISBN: 9781503302945
This classic has been notoriously banned by the Nazis’ during WWII. The only known reason for it being banned in Germany and Italy was that it was “too radical.” Perhaps the feral violence was too vivid, or maybe the sense of breaking away from domestic life was seen as treasonous. We may never know, but don’t let the fact that it’s banned in some countries deter you from picking it up, and that goes for all the banned books around the world.
