Produced by Juha Kiuru and Tapio Riikonen "Tähdistälukija" by Walter Scott is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows Guy Mannering, a young English gentleman recently graduated from Oxford, as he travels through the northern regions of England and encounters various characters, including an intriguing and mysterious gypsy, Meg Merrilies. The narrative delves into themes of astrology and destiny, focusing on Mannering's interest in reading the stars and how this skill intertwines with the lives of those he meets. The opening of "Tähdistälukija" introduces Mannering as he journeys to the market town of Kippletringan, where he encounters the challenges of navigating an unfamiliar landscape at dusk. As he travels, he is met with a series of disjointed directions from locals, which reflect the eerie and isolating atmosphere of the moor he traverses. This tension culminates in his arrival at a cottage, where he learns about the local customs and the ongoing events surrounding the laird's household, emphasizing the connection between astrology and the significant life events that unfold around him. The scene is rich in descriptions of the setting and character interactions, laying the groundwork for the unfolding tales of fate and the mystical elements at play.
