Synopsis "La rama dorada (in Spanish)"

En toda época ha habido, por un lado, rebeldes, individuos que trataron de reformar la religión o más aún deshacerse de ella, y por el otro, conciliadores o unificadores que buscaron reconciliar fe y práctica a través de métodos menos radicales. Es a la primera categoría, la revolucionaria, a la que Frazer creyó pertenecer. Todas las religiones producen religiones opuestas; las religiones del Libro producen libros opuestos. La religión fosilizada de los primeros griegos tuvo su respuesta en Sócrates y a través de él en las obras de Platón; la religión fosilizada de los primeros hebreos, la pedantería de los escribas y los fariseos, tuvo su respuesta en Cristo, y a través de él en el Nuevo Testamento. La religión del Libro de la propia época de Frazer, el cristianismo victoriano en sus distintas variantes, también requería un libro que se le opusiera. Hay razones suficientes para afirmar que ese libro, consciente o inconscientemente, era La rama dorada

View Author's Page
James George Frazer (1854–1941) was an influential Scottish anthropologist and folklorist, a pioneer in the comparative studies of mythology and religion. He was born in Glasgow and studied at the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge. His most notable work, The Golden Bough, initially published in 1890 and expanded into twelve volumes between 1906 and 1915, analyzes the similarities between myths, rites, and beliefs from various cultures, proposing an evolution from magic to religion and, finally, to science.

Frazer was a professor at the University of Liverpool and a member of the Royal Society. Despite his partial blindness from 1930, he continued his academic work. His methodological approach was based on the collection of historical data and testimonies, without conducting direct fieldwork, which has been subject to criticism.

His legacy endures in the influence that The Golden Bough had on literature and modern thought, inspiring writers like T.S. Eliot. Although his evolutionary theory has been questioned, his ability to identify common patterns across different cultures remains a significant contribution to the study of comparative religions.

Sobre el envío, todo bien llego antes de la fecha límite en super buenas condiciones. Sobre el libro, aún no lo termino pero está de pana, no es difícil de leer, al contrario, pese a ser un libro bastante académico es amigable con quien lo tome, no usa un lenguaje técnico y rebuscado, quien guste del tema lo podrá leer sin problemas. Es una mirada a los ritos religiosos y la importancia de estos en distintas culturas, su historia y evolución. El libro lo conocí gracias a una referencia que hizo Murakami en su obra "1Q84", lectura que también recomiendo.
