Guy Mannering è un astrologo che crede solo a metà nella sua arte. Ripone invece la sua fede nel potere patriarcale, nella ricchezza e nella posizione sociale. Ma la Scozia di questo romanzo è una nazione in cui le vecchie gerarchie stanno crollando e Guy deve imparare i limiti dell'autorità del nababbo in una società in cui ogni gruppo sociale, dagli zingari e contrabbandieri, agli avvocati di Edimburgo, ai proprietari terrieri e ai contadini dei negozi di confine, vive secondo le proprie leggi.
