I highly recommend História do Riso by Abílio Almeida. Almeida combines deep scholarly insight with accessible writing, tracing the cultural and philosophical evolution of laughter in a way that makes complex ideas engaging and relatable. The exploration of laughter across different eras resonated with me and prompted reflection on humor’s role in my life and its ability to connect us through time. If you enjoy contemplating deep topics, this is a must-read!
