The Talking Jewels (1748) is an erotic novel by Denis Diderot.
Although he is known as a leading radical philosopher of 18th
century France, Diderot also pursued a brief career as an anonymous
author of controversial works of fiction. The Talking Jewels, his
most famous erotic creation, is thought to have been inspired by
the life of Madame de Pompadour, the favorite mistress of Louis XV.
Bored with his life as Sultan of Congo, Mangogul longs for a
distraction. Certain that his mistress Mirzoza has been cheating on
him, he seeks the assistance of a powerful genie. With one of his
wishes, Mangogul acquires a magic ring that gives him the ability
to learn the sexual secrets of any woman he chooses. By rubbing the
ring and pointing it toward the genitals, it grants them the power
to speak and to reveal in graphic detail the romantic encounters of
the past. Much to the embarrassment of these women, the talking
jewels are often activated in the company of Mangogul's illustrious
guests, who listen in shock to the secrets of their lustful lives.
The Talking Jewels is a masterful erotic tale that plays on the
prejudices and traditions of civilized society while humorlessly
critiquing the stuffy morals of France's political, religious, and
cultural elite. By portraying Mirzoza in a positive light, Diderot
likely earned the respect of Madame de Pompadour, who helped secure
funding for his influential and controversial Encyclopedie project.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Talking Jewels is a classic of
French erotic literature reimagined for modern readers.
