Sir James George Frazer's The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion is a broad comparative study of mythology and religion. Treating religion as a cultural phenomenon rather than discussing it from a theological perspective, the effect of The Golden Bough on both European literature and the emerging discipline of anthropology was substantial. The pioneering anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski said of it: "No sooner had I read this great work than I became immersed in it and enslaved by it. I realized then that anthropology, as presented by Sir James Frazer, is a great science, worthy of as much devotion as any of her elder and more exact studies and I became bound to the service of Frazerian anthropology."
It's important to note that the abridged version of this book, aside from being abridged, omits Frazer's most groundbreaking and controversial (at the time) thesis, regarding Christianity's relationship to the rest of humankind's myriad religions. ( )
This is an impressive collection of global customs that is tainted by the author’s racism, and ignorance. Sometimes they brush with brilliance but the reader must come with enough updated knowledge to get anything of value out if this book. ( )
Un classico dell'etnologia. Pochi libri nella storia della scienza hanno mai mostrato tanta aggressività e vitalità quanto questo libro di Sir J G Frazer. opera In 12 volumi, pubblicata tra il 1911 e il 1915 e abbreviata dallo stesso autore nel 1922. L'impostazione teoretica, l'ideologia e la tensione morale che contiene il libro certamente non appartengono al nostro tempo. Perciò può essere definito un classico. Frazer non ama il magico, maneggia con insolenza il mondo dei primitivi torvo e demoniaco, la sua prosa rimane elegante e civilissima esorcizza l'atroce fascino dei riti disperati e crideli, ma offre un accesso umano e agevole a quell'oscuro intrigo di miti, favole, angosce e speranze, opera tradotta in immagini e gesti collettivi che ancora alimenta la nostra esistenza.
Esta obra está considerada como una de las grandes investigaciones sobre mitología y semiología del siglo XX. Al investigar para ella, Frazer, uno de los primeros en intentar sistematizar científicamente el mundo de la magia, descubrió el origen de muchas costumbres aún vigentes en los pueblos occidentales a través del estudio de las costumbres de otras culturas. El resultado fue un estudio de mitología comparada que ha tenido mucha influencia en la antropología, el arte y la literatura desde que se publicó por primera vez en 1890. ( )

Who does not know Turner’s picture of the Golden Bough?
Zitate
Im Fricktal in der Schweiz gehen die Knaben zu Pfingsten in den Wald und hüllen einen von ihren Gefährten in belaubte Zweige. Er wird der Pfingstlümmel genannt und zu Pferde, mit einem grünen Zweig in der Hand, ins Dorf zurückgeführt. Am Dorfbrunnen wird halt gemacht, und der blättergeschmückte „Lümmel“ wird vom Pferde geholt und in den Trog getaucht. Damit erwirbt er sich das Recht, jedermann mit Wasser zu bespritzen, und er übt dieses Recht besonders an Mädchen und Straßenjungen aus. Die Jungen und Mädchen marschieren in Trupps vor ihm her und bitten ihn, er möchte ihnen eine Pfingstdusche geben.

Frazer's own 1922 abridgment of his 12-volume work, originally published in two volumes but now usually published in one. Please don't combine with the multi-volume (8 to 15 volumes) sets, with any of its separate volumes, nor with either of the the "new" abridgments edited by Theodore Gaster (1959) or Robert Fraser (1998), nor with any edition titled Illustrated Golden Bough, of which there are at least two with different editors doing the abridgment, unless you know they are using the 1922 Frazer text. To add to the confusion, some editions claim to be "unabridged" because they are unabridged from Frazer's original 1890 two-volume publication, not the best-known multi-volume third edition (1906-1915).
