Guy Mannering

Guy Mannering is an astrologer who only half-believes in his art. Instead he places his faith in patriarchal power, wealth and social position. But the Scotland of this novel is a nation in which the old hierarchies are breaking down and in which each social group lives by its own laws.

Guy Mannering este un astrolog care crede doar pe jumatate in arta sa. In schimb, el isi pune credinta in puterea patriarhala, bogatie si pozitie sociala.
