| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] On January 22, The Mail on Sunday reported that staff at the University of Northampton had issued a warning that George Orwell's novel 1984 contained shock content. According to Krasnaya Vesna news agency, the warning about shock content was issued on the basis that this book contains "explicit materials" that some students may find "offensive and upsetting." In addition to the literature of George Orwell, scholars highlight several other works in the module that could potentially be "offensive and upsetting". This module also includes Samuel Beckett's play Endgame, Allan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta, and more. |

| #2 The book of Genesis 18-20 I believe it is, refers to the evils of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. There are reportedly some 20 additional references throughout the book. The precise details can be debated, but most scholars believe something calamitous at least happened there. Orwell's 1984 is becoming less and less debated. |
