Yuri Borev’s "The Comic, or How Laughter Punishes the Imperfection of the World, Cleanses and Renews Humanity, and Affirms the Joy of Being"

First published in 1957 under the title On the Comic, this classic study by Yuri Borev has stood the test of time. Despite the ideological pressures of its era, the book’s analysis of the comic remains remarkably free from political expediency. Borev delves into the essential nature of comedy, exploring its varieties, forms, and expressive means—elements that transcend fleeting trends.

Translated into multiple languages and widely cited in scholarly works on the comic, this volume is considered a foundational text in its field. It examines how laughter exposes imperfection, renews the human spirit, and affirms life’s joy.

Intended for humanities scholars—especially those in philology, philosophy, and cultural studies—this edition offers a rigorous yet accessible investigation into the phenomenology of the comic. At 2,123.00 RUR, it’s a valuable addition to any academic library or for readers seeking a deep understanding of humor’s role in culture.
