One of the best safe ways to get away from reality is reading. And, perhaps, the most suitable genre for a complete immersion in the atmosphere of the book is fiction. A sort of tales for adults with a good psychological background. And if you also want to raise your spirits, then humorous fiction is really what you need. Let's talk about some of the brightest representatives of the genre.
Humorous fiction. Best books
Perhaps it would be better to start from the beginning. The founder of this genre may well be considered Swift. His "Gulliver's Travels" is considered by many to be a children's book, a banal tale, but this is not at all true. In the book, the author masterfully ridicules conceit as a trait of human character. He shows this in kind of people, and Lilliputians, and giants. This humorous fiction can please a reader of any age.
If you want to read a light, but at the same time deep book, go to the shelf with Harry Harrison's creations. The most popular series is the Steel Rat series of science fiction novels.
Many book lovers believe that this is the best comedy fiction about the boundless future. Interplanetary and even intergalactic travels are possible here. Steel Rat - the nickname of one dexterous scammer with an extraordinary mind. It is about his incredible adventures and adventures that are described in this book series.
We can be proud that the genre of “humorous fiction” was developed not only abroad, but also in Russia. The most famous and, of course, talented writers can be called the Strugatsky brothers . To start acquaintance with their work, the book "Monday begins on Saturday" is ideal. This is a story about the Leningrad programmer Privalov, who, having agreed to give two employees of the Research Institute of the city of Solovets by car, soon gets there as an employee. You can find out what events happen to him in this unusual place by reading a book. The work is distinguished by subtle humor and ease of syllable.
Another (of many)
book of the Strugatsky, written in the genre of "humorous fiction", is "The Second Invasion of the Martians." Here, on behalf of an elderly professor named Apollo, we are told about strange events taking place in a calm provincial town. Soon, the heroes of the book understand: the real Martians have come to earth!
Many people like modern humorous fiction. One of the most widely read authors today is Andrei Belyanin, and his most popular work is “The Sword Without a Name”. This book tells about a young man named Andrei. One day he arrives at a folk art festival. Winning in one of the contests, he wins the sword. A weapon usually looks, however, almost immediately, Andrei with the help of a sword is not somewhere, but in the real Middle Ages! There he meets various people and gets into alterations - in general, everything is according to the laws of the genre. With only one amendment: the adventures of the protagonist are described with a fair amount of humor.
These works, of course, are far from the only ones in the genre, however, are worthy of its examples.
