En savoir plus sur le livre

Set in Edinburgh's Canongate, this collection features compelling stories that explore themes of family loyalty and tragic conflict. In "The Highland Widow," a mother's desperate attempts to prevent her son's enlistment in the British army highlight the emotional turmoil of war. Meanwhile, "The Two Drovers" delves into the destructive nature of prophecy and friendship, as an Englishman and his Scottish friend become embroiled in a tragic quarrel. Scott's storytelling weaves rich characterizations with the historical context of the era.
