"Humor teaches tolerance," once noted the English writer Somerset Maugham. Indeed, an ironic attitude towards anything leaves no room for annoyance or anger, awakens indulgence towards others' flaws or weaknesses. Laughter heals and brings peace. People have always understood this well, hence wit has always been considered a trait of a wise person.
This book collects short stories from the lives of rulers and commanders, scientists and writers, actors, and jesters. They form a unique encyclopedia of humor, covering all epochs, starting from ancient Greece and Rome and ending with the 20th century.
Editor-compilator K.S. Zhukov.
