The book "Problems of Comics and Laughter" for the first time in this edition appears before the reader in the form in which V. Ya. Propp intended: the introductory part "Preliminary Remarks", including the preface and the paragraph "A Little About Philosophy", was not included in previous editions of the work. V. Ya. Propp is one of the greatest researchers of folklore, his works devoted to the fairy tale have long become classics. However, in his final work, the famous scientist turns to the topic of comic laughter, develops a classification of types of laughter and the reasons that cause it. The work is considered unfinished, but contains a very harmonious typology, constructed in Propp's clear and reasoned manner. The logical addition to the main text were the works preceding “Problems of Comedy and Laughter”: the article “Ritual Laughter in Folklore (On the Tale of Nesmeyana)” (1939) and the report “Problems of the Comic in Gogol”, read by V. Ya. Propp in 1962. The publication is addressed to scholars and students of the humanities.
