دربارهٔ این کتاب

"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 09 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This monumental work explores humanity's intellectual evolution from magical thinking through religious belief to scientific thought. Frazer examines fertility rites, human sacrifice, dying gods, and ritual practices across cultures, arguing that ancient religions centered on sacred kings sacrificed seasonally. Though it scandalized Victorian Britain and was later rejected by academic anthropology, The Golden Bough profoundly influenced twentieth-century literature and thought.
