Summary/Abstract: The study is dealing with the book censorship of the 50’s and it is based on the archivistic materials of the General Direction for Press and Tipography, that may be found at the National Central Historical Archives, and on the related bibliography of this phenomenon. Our intention is to reveal the internal mechanism of editing during this period and to present the main organizational institutions of censorship. Meanwhile, these archivistic materials allowed the author to elaborate a tipology of the censored thematics, considered by the censors the most dangerous ones.
