Specialist Notes
The orientalizing novel of the famous encyclopedist, writer, philosopher, the greatest representative of the French Enlightenment, Denis Diderot & nbsp; (Langres, 1713 - Paris, 1784). & Nbsp; Published for the first time anonymously in 1748, it became part of the heated enlightenment controversy. Written in the genre of libertine literature with an explicit eroticism and without hypocrisy, it is set in an imaginary Congo where "Les bijoux indiscrets" (the female genitals) philosophize, begin to speak, to reveal scandalous adventures, secret intrigues, mercilessly enunciating the various vices of different social classes. The overt satire of the entire court of Louis XV is amusing and relentless: no one is spared. & Nbsp;
