“Humor teaches tolerance,” the English writer Somerset Maugham once observed. And indeed, an ironic attitude towards something leaves no room for annoyance or anger, and awakens condescension towards other people's shortcomings or weaknesses. Laughter heals and gives peace. People at all times understood this well, so wit has always been considered a characteristic of a wise person.
This book contains short stories from the lives of rulers and generals, scientists and writers, actors and jesters. They form a kind of encyclopedia of humor, covering all eras, from ancient Greece and Rome to the XNUMXth century.
