The Golden Bough

The book presents Sir James George Frazer's pivotal work, "The Golden Bough," which began as a two-volume study of comparative religion and expanded significantly over time. Initially celebrated for its literary merit and anthropological insights, the work faced later criticism for lacking rigorous scientific methodology. Despite this, it remains a significant influence on contemporary writers and philosophers. This edition features an abridged version, edited by Frazer in 1922, and is printed on premium acid-free paper, emphasizing its lasting importance in literature and thought.
