Hi all,

Here in the U.S. we're "celebrating" Banned Books Week (assuming something as frustrating as censorship can really be "celebrated"). Which leads me to wonder, out of curiosity: have JV's books, or translations thereof, ever been banned in any country? If so, what reason was given?

I'm not thinking here of Hetzel's extensive political squeamishness, or that of so many English translators (Axel becoming the English Harry, Kingston's Nemo becoming a British Imperialist, etc.). Rather, have any published editions of Verne been banned governmentally?
