QR code
"Les bijoux indiscrets" by Denis Diderot is a libertine novel published anonymously in 1748. In this allegorical tale, a sultan receives a magic ring that makes women's intimate parts speak, revealing their hidden secrets. The sultan tests the ring thirty times on various women of his court while his favorite, Mirzoza, fears becoming its next victim. Through these revelations, Diderot paints a portrait of liberated society where appearances deceive and genuine tenderness
rarely exists. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
