His is a gripping tale of power, sex, love, and the life of the mind, and it is superbly rendered here by one of Sweden's most acclaimed writers. A charismatic German doctor and brilliant intellectual, Struensee used his influence to introduce hundreds of reforms in Denmark in the 1760s. He had a tender and erotic affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde, who was unsatisfied by her unstable, childlike husband. Yet Struensee lacked the subtlety of a skilled politician and the cunning to choose enemies wisely; these flaws proved fatal, and would eventually lead to his tragic demise.<P> 267228 1999 The Royal Physician's Visit: A Novel total:143|5:33|4:51|3:37|2:17|1:5| 143 519 224 18 5 0 false false Tue Dec 09 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 08:51:15 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 16:30:46 -0800 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 12:50:00 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 12:52:48 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Tue Aug 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 17:22:03 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 17:23:35 -0700 2009
