Book Synopsis The Royal Physician's Visit by : Per Olov Enquist
Download or read book The Royal Physician's Visit written by Per Olov Enquist and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2001-10-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handsome doctor stirs up scandal in the eighteenth-century Danish royal court in this “extraordinarily elegant and gorgeous novel” (Los Angeles Times). The Royal Physician's Visit magnificently recasts the dramatic era of Danish history when Johann Friedrich Struensee—court physician to mad young King Christian—stepped through an aperture in history and became the holder of absolute power in Denmark. His is a gripping tale of power, sex, love, and the life of the mind, and it is superbly rendered here by Sweden’s most acclaimed writer. A charismatic German doctor and brilliant intellectual, Struensee used his influence to introduce hundreds of reforms in Denmark in the 1760s and had a tender and erotic affair with Queen Caroline Mathilde, who was unsatisfied by her unstable, childlike husband. And yet, his ambitions ultimately led to tragedy. This novel, perfect for book clubs, is a compelling look into the intrigues of an Enlightenment court and the life of a singular man. “An enthralling fable of the temptations of power—and a surprisingly poignant love story,” —Time “Realized with a vividness and subtlety that place the book in the front ranks of contemporary literary fiction,” —The New York Times Book Review “The Swedish novelist’s method is to begin 10 years after Struensee’s fall, then retrace the “Struensee era,” as it came to be called, by probing the characters of four principal players—Christian, Guldberg, Struensee, and Queen Caroline Mathilde—each of whose perspectives, even the king’s, he makes intelligible and occasionally even sympathetic. A towering achievement,” —Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's probably too late to change the overall perception that the American public has of my brothers Clyde and Buck, as well as Clyde's sweetheart Bonnie Parker and Buck's wife Blanche Caldwell Barrow. The public's perspective on my family members and friends has been reinforced by over 60 years of caricature and exaggeration through the output of the publishing houses and the Hollywood studios. It began during the days of the old newsreels in the movie houses and has continued unchanged up through today's modern cable television networks and satellite communications. No matter which medium carries the message, the message itself is typically 100% pure baloney." A new slant on the infamous Bonnie and Clyde by Clyde's sister Marie Barrow.

It can be difficult to know how to change this and how to slow down. THINK LESS, BE MORE is a powerful guide to finding more happiness and contentment, despite the challenges, difficulties and often unrealistic expectations we are confronted with in our daily lives, be it at work, at home or somewhere in between. The message in the book is simple, mindful and compelling: Think less, think differently and distance yourself from the merry-go-round of your own mind! That nagging voice in your head does not need to control you. Worry-thinking, feelings of anxiety, frustration or anger do not need to be your constant companion. Only when your mind is calm and clear can you feel truly alive and be who you truly are. Written unlike any other book about how stress can affect our health and well-being, THINK LESS, BE MORE offers insightful strategies on how we can help ourselves - and others - become free from the limitations and negative influence of our own thinking. It also contains real-life stories and an Eight-Week 'Mental Detox' program, based on sound principles of cognitive behaviour, used by teachers of mindfulness and therapists. Informative, engaging and inspirational, Christine Maingard takes the reader on a journey towards a more mindful life. This book can change your life in a most profound and joyful way.
