Dear Alex,

The biography written by Bill Butcher has got the answer to your question.
Indeed, there were books banned in the past.

Two examples are "Strogoff" in Russia, "Tribulations" in China. "Paris" was banned by Hetzel himself etc.

I know, it does not answer your question directly.

Best,
Krzysztof
