"Les Bijoux Indiscrets, or, The Indiscreet Toys" by Denis Diderot is a novel published anonymously in 1748. This allegorical work follows Sultan Mangogul of Congo, who receives a magic ring with unusual powers: when pointed at a woman, it makes her vagina speak about its amorous experiences.

secrets are publicly revealed. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
