On April 5, 1768, Johann Friedrich Struensee was hired as chamber physician to the Danish King Christian VII. Four years later, he was executed. This book tells the fascinating story of 18th century Europe, where a German doctor becomes the favorite of a demented king and promotes progressive reforms to liberate the people at the dawn of the Enlightenment. However, his political project enrages the nobles, who fear losing their power, while they watch scandalized Struensee's influence over the monarch and the young queen, with whom he begins a passionate and tragic relationship. In this era, the ideas of the Enlightenment had taken root and could not be suppressed.
Per Olov Enquist, also known as P. O. Enquist, was a Swedish author. He worked as a journalist, playwright and novelist.
