Literature is the most popular art form amongst the Cardassian populace and so it has the most restricted guidelines. Permitted books must actively promote Cardassian ideology or discredit Cardassia's enemies. Epics such as ''The Never Ending Sacrifice'', which describes the service of seven generations of a family to Cardassia, are favorites amongst Cardassian readers. These books are even preferred above tales of valorous Cardassian officers defeating the schemes of dastardly Starfleet officers bent on destroying the Union with their corrupt ideals of democracy and individuality. | Literature is the most popular art form amongst the Cardassian populace and so it has the most restricted guidelines.

While fairly unpopular before the war, in recent years the tales of ''Mitakut'', a wild hybrid hound that roamed the mountains in Cardassia, gained traction. The books are well-known to almost every child in the Cardassian Union. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/V0ExEkmqvJY/m/iIMqc18PBQAJ "Change is Hard"], Dalin [[Lukin Zorkal]], [[Starbase 118 Ops]], 239905.19</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-ops/c/6drjjO6kZ0U/m/w60uVQbkAAAJ "Happy Place Pt. 4"], [[Ferri Emlott]], [[Starbase 118 Ops]], 239906.25</ref> | |||
Cardassians who travel and the upper classes have access to non-Cardassian literature. Dante's ''Inferno'', Tolstoy's ''War and Peace'', K'Ratak's ''The Dream of the Fire'' are all highly regarded works. The Cardassians appreciate Shakespeare's dramas but despise the comedies - particularly ''Romeo and Juliet'', in which the two lovers chose love over family. | Cardassians who travel and the upper classes have access to non-Cardassian literature.
