The Golden Bough James Frazer
Newton & Compton
Important anthropological treatise, written English Frazer at the beginning of last century. Maybe sometimes a bit 'boring, but a basic text and a valuable aid to better understand the esoteric environment. The title of the The Golden Bough goes back to the old myth of the cult of Diana at the sacred grove of Nemi near Rome, where in ancient times, the priest-king of the forest and the sanctuary, was a runaway slave ... if he could kill the former priest of the woods, called Nemorensis rex (king of the woods just because nemus means forest and rex, king) and was able to grasp a branch of laurel yellowed (so it seemed golden ) became the new ruler of the sacred. A text to read and study carefully, given that it is a text and europocentrico positivist anthropological, evolutionary in other words. But this takes nothing away from the myriad of ideas that the book offers. Anyway the best edition of the Bull Hogarth Press, Newton Compton because that has resulted in an approximate.
