Focusing on the comparative analysis of mythology and religion, this work by Sir James George Frazer explores various cultural beliefs and practices. Originally published in multiple volumes from 1890 onward, it examines themes of magic, ritual, and the evolution of religious thought. The extensive research spans numerous cultures, providing insights into the commonalities and differences in human belief systems. The later editions further refine and expand upon the initial findings, making it a significant contribution to anthropology and the study of religion.
