Book Description
An international sensation, 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 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.

Dark pages of Danish history.......2006-04-27
Progress that is enforced on immature and unprepared receptors and thus rejected, reforms that threaten the establishment and thus have to be redressed, sinister plots, conspiracies, coups d' etat, revolution, adultery and illegitimate children...
During the second half of the 18th century, the small Kingdom of Denmark is torn between the forces of the Enlightenment and those of the pietist and monolithic royal establishment. A fierce struggle ensues, a struggle for power and absolute control, one in which the small, the stupid and the insignificant prevail, though not for long, as "the black glow from the torches of the Enlightenment" may have been subdued but has not been extinguished. Given time and with renewed force it will conclude that which has been left unfinished.
An enchanting historical novel that balances precariously between life and death, reason and madness, light and darkness, love and hate. Not an easy read as the author often speaks in riddles rendering it challenging for the reader to decipher the hidden meanings. Other times I felt I had to try to make sense of madmen's ramblings and manic chantings, find reason amidst the chaos. Yet a very intriguing and captivating read, dark and rigid, a book full of those elements that have made up the essence of politics from time immemorial.
The Royal Physician Overstayed His Welcome.......2006-03-09
I did not think very highly of this book. It seemed well written at first, but my emotional detachment while reading the story showed that the author was not conveying any feeling through the story. The prose was repetitive, there were too many characters (all from an omniscient narrator), and we never get to know or care about the characters. The author provides very few scenes where the characters interact with each other. It is a "play" that is all monologue, trying to be profound. The problem is that after a while, the profound becomes indistinguishable from the shallow. From the beginnng, we know that Struensee will arrive, take over, and be overthrown, so there is certainly not an exciting plot.I did not even care when Struensee was executed--he was a bland and boring character.
I found two interesting aspects of this book. One was the slow descent into madness of King Christian, and his relationship with the prostitute Caterine. It might be worth the beginning of the book to read about King Christian. The other interesting thing was the character of Queen Caroline Mathilde, sister of George III. She matured from a frightened girl to a poweful woman by the end of the book, a force to be reckoned with. Enquist should have focused more on her, or else made Struensee more interesting.
Repetitious, Reduntant, Reiterative.......2006-01-10
[...]Recommended to me by a colleague, this novel is largely unreadable. It's the prose. Horrid. A single sentence is written as many ways as possible, as closely as possible. That is, a given sentence resembles several other sentences on the same page. You see, the same thing is written over and over again. Just as you think you are getting a break, the sentence, which is repetitious, redundant, and reiterative, rears its ugly head yet again. Get the picture? It's like See Dick Run. Run, Dick, run. Annoying, yes?
My desire to politely finish a recommended book couldn't overcome the headache I got from reading this tedious novel. In fact, I read only the first hundred pages or so, then tried skimming from there--to no avail. Perhaps, as many critics seem eager to point out, Enquist's work is enlightened and masterly. But the prose is the worst I can recall having read. I'll give Enquist the benefit of the doubt and assume that what translated to English as garble was stylistically pleasing in the Swedish. In the end though, the writing obscures any positive attributes. As much as I hate to dissuade anyone from reading anything, I'd strongly advise passing on The Royal Physician's Visit. Try The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal for a worthy historical novel. The style is brilliant and the novel is a true masterwork.
Very disappointed.......2004-09-08
I was very disappointed. This reads more like a history book with occasional quotes thrown in. It is at times redundant. It is slow and difficult to read. This is not for the leisure reader who enjoys history mixed with fiction.
SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK..........2003-12-09
Having read "Lost Queen" by Norah Lofts, which book was a work of historical fiction that covered much of the same story told by this author, there could not be two books more different, though both are riveting. The major difference is in the writing style. The book by Ms. Lofts is superlative and tells an interesting, intriguing, though somewhat superficial story about the love triangle consisting of the mad king of Denmark, Christian VII, his wife, Queen Caroline Mathilde, and the royal physician, Johann Struensee. This author, on the other hand, rips the reader's guts out with its angst filled, staccato telling of the same story. It is a more literary book than that of Ms. Lofts and compelling in its own way, a beautifully written work of historical fiction that will keep the reader riveted to its pages until the very end.
It, too, tells the story of Princess Caroline Mathilde of England, sister to King George III. At the age of fifteen she was wed to young King Christian VII, who eventually became known as the mad king of Denmark. Temperamental, high strung, and given to strange outbursts, his predilection for odd behavior was known early on, but despite this the two kingdoms would still see these two wed, as the unification of England and Denmark was more important than individual happiness.
King Christian VII was a truly pitiable figure who had survived a childhood fueled by rank cruelty and was easy prey for the sycophants of the Danish court. He developed a peculiar aversion to his wife and, consequently, had conjugal relations with her only once, which propitiously resulted in the birth of a son nine months later. Alone in a foreign country, whose language she was only beginning to learn, and estranged from a King surrounded by sycophants, the young queen gravitated to the one person who treated her as a person in her own right, the King's physician, Johann Struensee.
An advocate of the philosophy of Enlightenment that was overtaking Europe, the idealistic Struensee had many ideas that were introduced as reforms in Denmark, through his influence with the King, who by now was easily led, since his madness left a void in leadership that Struensee was all to happy to fill. These reforms were to make many enemies for him, as they upset the established feudal system that still existed in eighteenth century Denmark. As he gained power through his influence, resentment against him grew within those circles that had formerly been close to the King. Unaware of the growing animosity against him and lacking political canniness, Struensee and the Queen became close intimates, bound by shared ideas and interests.
Struensee's relationship with the Queen, who was lonely and starved for affection, eventually transgressed the bounds set by propriety. Now lovers in fact, their relationship became grist for the rumor mill. She even gave birth to a daughter who the King acknowledged as his own but who was actually Stuensee's. As gossip and innuendo about their relationship swirled across royal circles in Europe, it ultimately became the focal point for a political coup that saw them both arrested and charged with treason. It was a relationship that was to have great personal and political ramifications for the protagonists, as well as for Denmark. What ultimately happened to each of them was tragic, governed as it was by the initial reluctance of the Danes to give up their feudal system. Even those whom Struensee championed through his reforms, the peasant class, turned against him in the end.
This is a richly atmospheric work of historical fiction, filled with political intrigue, historical personages and events, shadowed by darkness and a palpable sorrow apparent in each and every one of its pages. It is as if the individual psyche of each of the protagonists were driving the book, giving it texture, shadings, and glimpses into the psyche of those involved in this high drama. It is an angst filled, almost surreal, rendering of lives that were to come together and leave a mark on the world, making for a story that to this day has the power to captivate the reader. Bravo!
Book Description
SHE WAS CERTAIN OF ONE THING
Sophy's relationship with the attractive Dutch surgeon Maximillan Oosterwelde was of the blow-hot-blow-cold variety. He might be unsure of his feelings for her, but one thing she knew for sure -- in her heart, Sophy did not want any "blow cold" at all!
Customer Reviews:
Not too much tension.......2002-11-11
Sophy is an operating room Sister. She is very good at what she does. Max Oosterwelde is a visiting consultant. They both have the same godfather (another surgeon). That's the way they get thrown together all the time. Not much of a story, no desperate money troubles on the part of the heroine, no beautiful girlfriend, just misunderstandings. If you like an easy Betty Neels story, this is it.
Customer Reviews:
A parody is not an improvement.......2004-11-25
I enjoyed Snowcrashed as a parody of Snow Crash and cyberpunk books. I do not share other reviewer's opinion that it is better than those other books. In fact, Headcrashed will only make sense if you have read those other books.
HeadCrash - Funny, but a rubbish end.......2003-05-02
From all the other rewiews you can see what the book is about, some applaud it others do it down.
The Humour of this book is rather good, its got a type of humour i can relate to easily
The cyberpunk view of how the nets gonna b like in the furutre with VR using datagloves, socks etc to feel and move in VR not excluding the haply named ProctoPod (which u don't wanna where that goes)
MAX_COOL AKA Jack Burroughs looses his job, but gets offered something in VR he cannot refuse, a hacking job that could get him £1mill in real life if he succeeds.
The storyline has twists n turns and you c ppl from Jacks (PYLE) VR past and who they are in real life.
However my gripe is with the end of the book, everything goes out of the window and the courtroom chapters simply are confusing beyond belief and i feel rushed when they were being put down into words.
However for some good laffs and a insight into how the net could turn out i recommend this book, as long as you don't wanna read it till the end, shut it at one of the end chapters and make ur own one up i think.
Stuff so lame should be pilloried, not rewarded.......2003-04-14
Bruce Bethke managed to write a mostly unfunny novelization of three or four Dilbert strips. The book was relevant for some two weeks, I guess, and they were gone before the hardcover edition saw the light of day (perhaps the reviewers at the publishing house read the manuscript at that time?). The protagonist is an unmitigated, weapons-grade J.E.R.K. with the declared IQ of two million and the tested one around minus ten. Other characters rustle when moving around - they're paper, not even cardboard. The "reality" of 2005 is more like June 3, 1994, with snazzy car names. All in all, forget you saw this book. Buy something else, a Coke, a burger, anything would be healthier - even a pack of untipped Gauloises. The environmental impact would be smaller, too.
HeadCrash Won Me With Humor.......2002-11-22
In a massive sea of cyberpunk books that take themselves way too seriously, HeadCrash is a shining example of how humor can turn an ordinary novel into a piece of literature that everyone should read. Bruce Bethke has created a book that is truly engaging for the reader.
One way he accomplished this is through an interesting plot line with numerous twists that kept me constantly on guard. HeadCrash follows the story of :cybergeek" Jack Burroughs; a.k.a. Pyle; a.k.a. MAX_KOOL. The story starts with Jack going through a management shake up at MDE, Monolithic Diversified Enterprises. Later on, after Jack suddenly finds himself in a sticky situation, the reader watches as Jack uses his cyberspace alter ego, MAX_KOOL, and an embarrassing way to interface with the internet, to do a hack job for a mysterious woman known only as Amber. Saying anymore about the plot would lessen the amazing experience that any reader would have reading this book. The engaging plot and Bethke's outrageously funny style of writing made reading this book a truly positive experience.
OK if you enjoy the level of humor.......2002-08-24
The book started with some promise: the protagonist is stuck in a dead-end job that he hates, working for a boss who loathes him, and living in Mom's basement. Good, let's see this conflict get resolved over the rest of the book, I thought.
No way. His problems are solved within a few chapters, and suddenly he's got his own consultancy, a cool if dilapidated loft space to live/work in, a big client, and a successful biz partner. OK there are some doubts about the client but all in all, everything's looking good right up until the end of the book, when he experiences some minor inconvenience that's soon put more than right. The few promises of conflict that crop up are all resolved in a few pages.
There was no attempt to make the world or characters believable. The approach seemed to be "this is satire: take your disbelief somewhere else, pal, because there's nowhere to suspend it from around here." Yeah, right. Go tell it to Robert Sheckley or Douglas Adams. Or Neal Stephenson, for that matter.
So there's not much to grip you and draw you into the story, which leaves the humor...
Unfortunately I'd come across too many of the jokes before, way back in the 80s (which gives you a hint as to my age: maybe youngsters will enjoy this more than us old-timers :-) Someone mentioned Dilbert, and that could be where I saw them... mushroom theory of management, anyone? How about the amazing irresistible miniature Soviet gizmo - oh, and don't forget the suitcase for the batteries, sir. Sorry, Bruce, seen 'em long before your book was published.
The rest of the humor involved things like neural interfaces that work when you put them..., well I'll leave it to your imagination where you put them, and a couple of running gags where (for example) his ex girlfriend turns up and attacks him at *every* crucial moment. If that sort of humor appeals, then this might be for you.
I'm in sympathy with the reviewer who was shocked that this won a PKD prize. The best thing I can say for it is that, as a first novel, it should give hope to unpublished writers everywhere because it shows that anything is possible, and utter garbage can pick up 5-star reviews right here.

Book Description
A Taste of the Past is an entertaining reconstruction of the daily life and household of Therese (Riza) Baruch (1851-1938), the great-grandmother of the author, Andras Koerner. Based on an unusually complete cache of letters, recipes, personal artifacts, and eyewitness testimony, Koerner describes in loving detail the domestic life of a nineteenth-century Hungarian Jewish woman, with special emphasis on the meals she served her family.
Based on Riza's letters, part one offers an imaginative sketch of growing up in a religious middle-class family in the 1860s and 70s in an industrial town in western Hungary. Part one also describes Riza's reactions to the dilemmas posed by the early signs of Jewish assimilation. In part two, the heart of the book, Riza has married, moved to a smaller town near the Austrian border, and become the central figure of a large household. Koerner recreates a typical day in the life of Riza and her family, peppering his narrative with recipes of the food she served for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon coffee-and-cake, and the much more modest evening meal.
Riza's family was religious, and Koerner also describes the special foods (pike in sour aspic, cholent, apple-matzo kugel, and much more) she served to celebrate the Sabbath and the six major Jewish holidays. Short introductions to the recipes describe the evolution of the dishes through the centuries, their role in Jewish culture, and how cultural influences and religious traditions shaped Riza's cooking.
More than 125 evocative pen-and-ink illustrations bring Riza's story and her food to life. A Taste of the Past offers an enchanting look at Jewish daily life in western Hungary in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a time when middle-class Jews were increasingly assimilated into mainstream Hungarian life and culture. Such small-town Jewish life had completely disappeared due to the Holocaust. Koerner's book revives this lost world and invites the reader to be a guest in Riza's house to watch her caring for her family, shopping, cooking, and preparing for the holidays. By offering easy-to-follow updated versions of her recipes, the book also allows readers to savor Riza's dishes and desserts in their own kitchens, thus completing this experience of a visit to the past.
Customer Reviews:
A great book for foodies and history buffs alike.......2004-03-10
This lovely book brings a slice of Hungarian Jewish culture to life in a uniquely three-dimensional way - the sights, the tastes, the details of everyday life. I found the recipes easy to follow and the pictures charming. The author's great-grandmother whom he profiles here is a refreshingly complex character - her views about such things as religion and national identity change over time, along with historical changes, and some of these shifts are even reflected in her food! For example, this is one Hungarian cookbook that is light on the paprika - apparently ginger was the spice of choice in the 19th century. Who knew?

The book really brings to life a community that was wiped out by the Holocaust. The description of life in the small city in Hungary is vivid and the amazing illustrations are a great complement. The easy-to-follow recipes round out the experience.

Customer Reviews:
Pueblo Pottery Families.......2007-05-13
The book provided insight into the relationships of the potters on the different pueblos. We like the book. It is inexpensive. We will have it available when we visit the different pueblos.
A Disappointment.......2003-02-03
Unfortunately, this book promises a lot more than it delivers. For example, in its preface, it mentions several families of potters at Acoma named Lewis not related to Lucy Lewis, but they are not even mentioned. Even the section on the family of Lucy Lewis is barely 2 pages. The author for the most part barely skims the surface. I desperately wanted to like this book, but the more I read it, the more I saw was lacking. For one thing, it seriously needed a much better editor. It reads like a grade school student's social studies report, and it is filled with typos, the worst being that many of the photo captions are wrong because the photos were flipped and the captions were not corrected. A major disappointment for the price. Fortunately I bought it in paperback! It did have some good information, but it could have and should have had much more.
An EXCELLENT resource for those interested in pottery........1999-01-04
This book is an excellent resource if you are interested in collecting pottery from all peublos as well as a variety of families. Although not quite as in depth as Rick Dillingmham's Fourteen Families, she does mention many families that he does not.

I received this book today and was unable to put it down. Very informative, well researched, and of course the pictures were beautifully displayed. It answered questions I had that only an expert could reveil or an Acoma potter could provide. Don't pass this one up!
A must for collectors of Native American pottery!.......2000-06-30
Elliott and co authors have captured the essence of Acoma and Laguna in their pictures and text of this highly collectible Native American pottery. As a small collector of this pottery, I have learned so much more from this wonderful book! If you are on a "hunt" for Acoma and Laguna collectibles, I recommend you take this book along with you.

Book Description
In 1899 at the age of fifty-six, Josephine Jefferson Foard moved from the East Coast to Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, where she built her own house and a kiln for firing pottery. Her intent was to show Pueblo potters how to strengthen their pottery by using better firing methods and by glazing it on the interior to make it waterproof. She also aimed to assist potters by marketing their products in the East, not just as decorative items but as functional additions to Anglo households.
Through collecting and studying historic pueblo pottery and with access to Foard's correspondence with family and the Commissioners of Indian Affairs, the authors of this book provide a rare glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who ventured to the Southwest as an artist, potter, and entrepreneur. Foard's letters, included in the appendices, describe at length her experience at Laguna Pueblo and offer insights into her life and work and also the lives of people of Laguna Pueblo and others in New Mexico.
This fascinating rediscovery of Josephine Foard highlights her work at Laguna Pueblo beginning in 1899 and her efforts to improve and market pueblo pottery for the Lagunas' economic benefit.
