«As Mentiras Que Os Homens Contam» is a collection of chronicles by Luis Fernando Verissimo, published by Editora Objetiva in paperback (166 pages, in Portuguese).
In these chronicles, Luis Fernando Verissimo reflects on the everyday lies men tell: from those learned in childhood to avoid scoldings to those that seek to protect a mother, partner or friends from upset. With irony, the author shows how these small fictions can be harmless or lead to serious situations, and how they end up becoming part of daily life. The selection comes from several of the writer's previous publications.
First volume of the Ver!ssimo collection, with the text revised by the author himself for this edition.
