The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 03 of 12)
"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 03 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This monumental work explores mythology and religion across cultures, tracing humanity's intellectual evolution from magical thinking through religious belief to scientific thought. Frazer examines fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and sacred kingship, proposing that ancient religions centered on seasonal cycles and ritual sacrifice. Though
it scandalized Victorian Britain and later faced scholarly criticism, this controversial masterpiece profoundly influenced twentieth-century literature and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
