In the introduction, the article focuses on those rights of the reader (D. Pennac) that cannot be fulfilled in the reading event. It then delineates the main layers of provocative texts (theme, perspective, plot, literary character, the use of language, mood); these elements of the reader's response related to ideological and social assumptions can label a specific text as a taboo text. In the main part, the article reveals censorial strategies: anonymous incitement on the Internet, evaluation of unread texts, unfair information in the media, and obstacles that emerge from authoritarian or idyllic concepts of children's literature. In the concluding part, the article provides some recommendations for mentors in fighting censorship.
