About this book

"L'oiseau blanc: conte bleu" by Denis Diderot is a tale written around 1748 and first published in 1798. Inspired by "The Arabian Nights," this story features the same characters as Diderot's earlier work "Les Bijoux indiscrets" but adopts a notably different tone. The tale's authorship sparked debate due to its contrasting style, with some suggesting involvement from Diderot's mistress, Madeleine de Puisieux. When police arrived to arrest Diderot in 1749, this was among the works they unsuccessfully sought to confiscate.
