520 _a"The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Third Edition, Vol. 08 of 12)" by Sir James George Frazer is a comparative study published between 1906-1915. This ambitious work explores mythology and religion across cultures, examining fertility rites, human sacrifice, and dying gods. Frazer argues that ancient religions were fertility cults centered on sacred kings, and that humanity progressed from magical thinking through religious belief to scientific thought. Though it scandalized Victorian readers and later faced scholarly criticism, this groundbreaking study profoundly influenced twentieth-century literature and thought.
