Originalleinen / Cloth. Zustand: Gut. 166 Seiten / p. sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Preface -- Before man speaks, he laughs. The most human of signs, laughter, because its meanings can be as myriad as the feelings and perceptions of man, is also among the most ambiguous of signs. The comic artist and his counterpart the theorist of laughter deserve our attention perhaps more than any other writers: they lead us to this richness of sense and seem to teach us that the mechanism of laughter is everywhere the same but that the matter for laughter shifts with the movement of cultures and time. A better understanding of the humor that animates the Rabelaisian persona must lead us to comprehend better the human that is in man. Rabelaiss laughers, we shall find, ace not confined to Renaissance France; the work and the laughter that bear his name are a part of the ongoing condition and experience of man.
