Sinopse

Denis Diderot's 'Les Bijoux Indiscrets, or, The Indiscreet Toys' is a bold and satirical novel that critiques the societal norms and values of 18th-century France. The book follows the story of Sultan Mangogul who possesses a magical ring that can make women's private parts reveal their innermost thoughts and desires. Through this fantastical device, Diderot explores themes of power, desire, and gender dynamics in a witty and thought-provoking manner. Written in a playful and lighthearted style, the novel blends elements of fantasy with social commentary, making it a unique and engaging read in the literary landscape of the Enlightenment era. Denis Diderot, a prominent figure of the French Enlightenment, was known for his critical works that challenged traditional beliefs and institutions. His background as a philosopher and writer influenced his creation of 'Les Bijoux Indiscrets', as he used the novel to satirize the hypocrisy and corruption of the elite class. Diderot's sharp wit and incisive commentary shine through in this novel, making it a significant contribution to the literary canon of the time. I highly recommend 'Les Bijoux Indiscrets, or, The Indiscreet Toys' to readers interested in Enlightenment literature, satire, and social critique. Diderot's masterful storytelling and provocative themes make this novel a captivating and relevant read that continues to resonate with modern audiences.

    This is hands down the most controversial yet humorous book that will ever read on the subject of women who think and act like bitches. I am a woman myself so before you hastily jump to the conclusion that this book is some sort of misogynist rant about women rest assured that it is not. Instead it is a close examination of what you probably already know that women can be bitches. 
    In fact, there are many different types of bitches that exist in the world today. In this particular book I’ve have identified 20 such types and I discuss them in great detail. Some of the types you may be familiar with and others you may not be however, I’m almost certain that you have encountered at least one or two of these types of bitches in your life or perhaps you may even be one of them yourself. Nonetheless, strap yourself in and be prepared to be entertained and educated about the 20 types of bitches that exist in the world.

    Three women unite—and fight back—after their husbands do them wrong, in this tale of “wickedly funny female bonding” by a New York Times–bestselling author (People).   Angela, half-Jewish, half-Italian, and all New Yorker, is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle adores her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dream house he’s provided for her and their two beautiful children. Jada is an African American working mom trying to maintain a happy home, despite her husband Clinton’s failing business.   But then, like a bad soufflé, the lives of these three thirtysomething women collapse as they each discover the truth about their dirty, rotten mates. Uniting for solace and support, they draw on one another’s friendship to heal their wounds. Bowed but not beaten, this smart, audacious trio will concoct a brilliant recipe to take back what’s theirs and serve justice on their duplicitous men—and transform them from victims to victors . . .   This is a “riotous” tale from the bestselling author of such beloved novels as The First Wives Club and Fashionably Late (USA Today).   “Chances are good that you’ll like these women and love this book.” —Daily News (New York)
