The Satanic Verses
Rushdie's novel of two Indian actors transformed after surviving a plane explosion, with dream sequences drawing on the life of the prophet Muhammad.
Why it was banned: India banned its import in October 1988, followed by many other countries; in February 1989 Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie's death.
