Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic
by Henri Bergson
Comedy exists universally, among all societies, cultures and humour is an essential part of the human nature. But in all the amusement, I don't think we ever hardly ponder over the question as to why is it so generic?
Henri Bergson answers questions like these and explores the theory of laughter. What do we find comic in forms and shapes of people? Why do we laugh at comic situations and comic expressions? Also, what makes us laugh at any character/individual in a comical work?
For those who are intrigued by the purpose of this fundamental part of our expression, you would certainly be amazed by the genius of the author's observations, how brilliantly he constructs his theory, and the beauty of his writing, in this very popular book of his.
