Inhaltsangabe

This masterful historical novel, an international bestseller, pulls readers into the dramatic and turbulent world of a doctor who became the court physician to the mentally unstable King Christian VII.

The influence of he charismatic German doctor over the young king allowed him to implement sweeping reforms that modernized Denmark, but his progressive ideas and intimate affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde sparked controversy and jealousy within the court.

As the doctor's power grew, so did the opposition against him, leading to a tragic and inevitable downfall.

Enquist's compelling narrative weaves together themes of power, love, and political intrigue, offering readers a gripping tale of ambition and betrayal. With rich historical detail and complex characters, The Royal Physician's Visit is literary historical fiction at its best.
