When speaking about book that reveals
secrets, the first that coming to my minds is “The Da Vinci code”
The Da Vinci code is a novel written by Dan Brown. This book were
published in 2003. The book has been translated into 44 languages, transforming
in a bestsellers.
The story tell the adventure of the expert in symbol Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu for solve
various mystery that them will take to discover the Holy Grail´s secrets.
Secrets that have been hide for the Catholic Church.
Although the author has not been censored, the book has been extensively
denounced by many Christian denominations as an attack on the Roman Catholic
Church. It has also been consistently criticized for its historical and
scientific inaccuracies. Also in Lebanon is prohibited.
Personally I don´t know any author or book censored for reveal secrets about history, but is very known the censure that made the
Catholic Church a many authors and books in the “Index of prohibited books”.
Too many books have been censured in different country, for example:
“Origen of species” of Darwin, censured in UK, Greece, and Yugoslavia
for motive religious.
“Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland” of
Carroll, censured in China for to award characteristic human to the animals.
“The Adventure of Sherlock Homes” of
Doyle, prohibited in UK for esoteric beliefs of his authors.
Today the censorship is difficult because
to existence of different mass media who allow publish without restrictions. In
my opinion the censure only make that the people want read them
I too speak about " The Da Vinci Code " is very interesting :)
