“A review to remove ‘offensive language’.”
Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming were previously put under the microscope of vinegar vaporizers in the UK and then “corrected” to the values and standards of… yeah, who actually? The list of censored films and literature gradually became an encyclopedic volume.
So it was written in the stars that there were still victims of the literary inquisition. It was the turn of the works of the British writer Agatha Christie. That reports “The Telegraph”. In books about the characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple – written between 1920 and 1976 – passages have been modified or deleted in new editions published by HarperCollins.
What should disappear? You know it now. Describing the character as black, Jewish, or gypsy. or describing the torso of a female figure as “black marble” and the judge’s “Indian temperament”. The term “oriental” and the n-word were also deleted. The word “natives” was also replaced by the word “natives”.
To the next victim of the great truth?
