Laughter; An Essay on the Meanings of the Comic, is one of the greatest French thinkers of all times attempt to break down what is laughter and how as humans we use laughter to build bonds and damage self-esteem. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
