«Le cercle des menteurs» is the philosophical short story collection by Jean-Claude Carrière, published by Pocket in paperback (448 pages, in French).
The book brings together philosophical tales from different cultures, featuring spiritual guides or simple fools, where imagination ventures into a game of appearances. The stories address universal questions and reveal, as Jean-Claude Carrière warns, truths that only liars know.
Published on 16 September 2010. The book's subtitle is «Contes philosophiques du monde entier».
Suitable for readers of philosophy and short fiction who enjoy tales with a moral undertone.
