The Golden Bough

More about the book

Exploring the intersections of magic and religion, this comprehensive study spans cultures from Rome to Polynesia, examining themes like fertility and dying gods. Frazer's analysis raises provocative questions about Christianity's uniqueness in relation to global myths, suggesting that all humans possess inherent religious instincts. His thorough examination invites readers to reflect on the nature of belief and the common threads that connect diverse spiritual practices. This edition includes all three volumes of Frazer's significant work.
