Pre-numbered label used for registration.A modern classic! This is a very nice hardback edition that I picked up off the bargain table at Borders. Reserved for the Banned Books Month Challenge. It was banned for sexual explicitness when it was first published. In 1922, 500 copies of the book were burned by the United States Department of the Post Office. According to Wikipedia: "In 1920 after the magazine The Little Review serialized a passage of the book dealing with the main character masturbating, a group called The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice who apparently objected to the book's content, took action to attempt to keep the book out of the United States. At a trial in 1921 the magazine was declared obscene and as a result Ulysses was banned in the United States. "The publisher, Random House, decided to try to get the ban lifted. In 1933, an arrangement was made to import the French edition, and the publisher arranged to have a copy seized by customs when the ship was unloaded. A trial (United States v. One Book Called Ulysses) ensued, and US District Judge John M. Woolsey issued a ruling on December 6, declaring that the book was not pornographic and therefore could not be obscene. Augustus Noble Hand ruled for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in affirming the ruling, which allowed the book to be imported into the U.S." |
