James George Frazer (1854-1941) was a famous British ethnographer, researcher of ancient Roman literature and the Old Testament, a prominent representative of classical evolutionism in anthropology, one of the pioneers of comparative religious studies, who made a huge contribution to the study of totemism, nature worship and beliefs in the afterlife. His main work, The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion, first published in 1890 in two volumes and expanded to 12 volumes in subsequent editions, is considered a milestone in the history of anthropology and religious studies. In this book, Frazer collected and systematized unique material on ancient and modern religions, folk customs existing in various parts of the world. Relying on a huge array of ethnographic and historical data, the author sought to show a complete picture of the beliefs and rituals of different eras. Translated into many languages, this book brought the author worldwide fame and is of undoubted interest not only to those who study the history of religion and folklore, but also to the widest range of readers. This edition presents a translation of an abridged version of the book, prepared by the author in 1922.
