The Indiscreet Jewels by Denis Diderot Pdf

A new 2023 translation of Denis Diderot's most powerful fictional novel, the Indiscreet Jewels (Les Bijoux indiscrets). This fresh edition of a previously unpublished work also contains an afterword by the translator on Diderot's philosophy, a timeline of his life and works, and a glossary of the philosophic topics which recur in his writings. Diderot's "The Indiscreet Jewels" is a magical-realism novel that tells the story of a magical ring that grants the ability to hear the thoughts and conversations of people during intimate encounters. It has similarities to Voltaire's Philosophical novel Zadig as it is set in an exotic place, but much more vulgar, similar to the works of François Rabelais. This work challenged and censorship, provoking discussions on the freedom of expression and the boundaries of literature. Although the work faced controversy and was condemned by some, it also received praise from intellectuals like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe for its daring and innovative approach to storytelling.

Les Bijoux Indiscrets, Or, the Indiscreet Toys by Denis Diderot Pdf

The Indiscreet Jewels ( or The Indiscreet Toys, or The Talking Jewels, French: Les bijoux indiscrets) is the first novel by Denis Diderot, published anonymously in 1748. It is an allegory that portrays Louis XV as the sultan Mangogul of the Congo who owns a magic ring that makes women's genitals ("jewels") talk. Sultan Mangogul of Congo is bored of court life and suspects his mistress Mirzoza of infidelity. Happily for him, a genie presents him with a magical ring with unique properties. When the ring is rubbed and pointed at the genitals of any woman in the vicinity, the genitals ("discreet jewels") begin speaking of their past amorous experiences to the confusion and consternation of their owner. In the book, the Sultan uses the ring in this manner about thirty times--usually at a dinner or a social meeting; on these occasions, the Sultan is typically visible to the woman. However, since the ring has the additional property of making its owner invisible when required, a few of the sexual experiences recounted are through direct observation with the Sultan making himself invisible and placing his person in the unsuspecting woman's boudoir.

Les Bijoux Indiscrets by Denis Diderot Pdf

Hiaouf Zeles Tanzai had already reigned long in great Chechianea, and this voluptuous prince still continued to be the delight of his subjects. Acajou king of Minutia had undergone the fate predicted by his father: Zulmis was no more: the Count De -- was still living: Splendidus, Angola, Misapouf and some other potentates of the Indies and Asia were carried off by sudden deaths. The people tired of obeying weak sovereigns, had shaken off the yoke of their posterity; and the descendants of those unfortunate monarchs rambled unknown, or not regarded, in the provinces of their empires. The grandson of the illustrious Scheherazad was the only one who maintain'd his throne: and he was obeyed in Indostan by the name of Schach Baam, at the time when Mangogul was born in Congo. Thus it appears, that the death of several sovereigns was the mournful epoch of his birth.His father Erguebzed did not summon the Fairies round the cradle of his son; because he had observed, that most of the princes of his time, who had been educated by these female intelligences, were no better than fools. He contented himself with ordering his nativity to be calculated by one Codindo, a person fitter for a portrait than an acquaintance.

Les bijoux indiscrets by Denis Diderot Pdf

" Vous voyez bien cet anneau, dit-il au sultan ; mettez-le à votre doigt, mon fils. Toutes les femmes sur lesquelles vous en tournerez le chaton, raconteront leurs intrigues à voix haute, claire et intelligible ; mais n'allez pas croire au moins que c'est par la bouche qu'elles parleront. - Et par où donc, ventre saint gris ! s'écria Mangogul, parleront-elles donc ? - Par la partie la plus franche qui soit en elles, et la mieux instruite des choses que vous désirez savoir, dit Cucufa, par leurs bijoux. " Avec ce roman, paru d'abord de manière anonyme, et qui tout entier tourne autour des confessions involontaires et scandaleuses des femmes de la cour de Mangogul - où l'on reconnaît celle de Louis XV - Diderot pensait avoir commis " une grande sottise ". Heureuse sottise, comme le souligne Colas Duflo, puisqu'elle nous vaut l'une des rares grandes fictions libertines au sens fort, c'est-à-dire qui réponde, comme Candide ou Justine, à ces trois critères : un récit expérimental, encyclopédique et surtout philosophique ".
