About this title

Synopsis

What lies beneath the world's most enduring taboos? In this landmark volume, James George Frazer delves into the shadows of magic and religion, tracing the mysterious forces that shape human belief. The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion (Volume III); Taboo and the Perils of the Soul (Part II) is a masterwork of early 20th-century anthropological study, unravelling the intricate rituals and spiritual anxieties that have haunted societies across continents and centuries. Frazer's sweeping comparative mythology draws on a wealth of cultural anthropology, revealing how ideas of taboo, the soul, and ritual pervade both ancient and Victorian era cultures. His research, a touchstone for later scholars of mythology such as Joseph Campbell, continues to inspire mythology enthusiasts and academic research alike. The exploration of soul and spirituality is presented with clarity and reverence, illuminating the universal patterns that unite humanity's search for meaning. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are a casual reader captivated by the mysteries of belief, or a collector seeking a cultural treasure, Frazer's investigation into taboo and rituals remains a vital resource for understanding the roots of human imagination.
