L’Europeo No. 102 – Forgotten Books | April/May 2026
In the beginning was the Word.
Thus begins one of the most important books for humanity. And ever since the Word unfolded upon the white page (papyrus, parchment, and so on), it has been subjected to restrictions, prohibitions, and outright censorship — including the very book quoted above, and often in its name.
What can make a book so dangerous? And to whom? This is the great question over which the greatest minds across the centuries have pondered — only to be banned themselves afterward…
The new issue of L’Europeo offers more than 200 pages of compelling reading filled with incredible twists and shattering insights into human nature that directly concern every one of us.
Forbidden love, sex and violence, religion, politics, prejudice — these are only fragments of the story to come.
Because the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.
