From Their Lips to His Ear

Denis Diderot

Translated by Anonymous

Selected by Lawrence Hamilton

Lawrence Hamilton has selected several spicy excerpts from an anonymous English translation of Denis Diderot‘s satiric libertine novel, Les Bijoux Indiscrets (The Indiscreet Jewels), first published in 1749). This edition, from New Urge is entitled From Their Lips to His Ear, is #6 in the Pocket Erotica series.

Denis Diderot was a highly celebrated 18th century French philosopher and editor of the groundbreaking Encyclopédie. In 1748, in need of money, he wrote a scandalous and satiric libertine allegory – Les Bijoux Indiscrets – whose hero, a sultan, is in possession of a magic ring. When aimed at female genitals, this ring prompts the private parts to speak — revealing the woman’s deepest sexual desires, experiences, and indiscretions.

In this precursor to The Vagina Monologues, the women  are portrayed  as  powerful beings through their liberated  ideas and sexuality.
