Summary/Abstract: Robert Neumann’s Struensee novel, written in exile in 1935, does not enjoy special recognition among researchers due to numerous content and historical errors. The aim of this analytical article is not to defend the novel against justified charges of literary scholars but to examine the function of the narrative which, at first glance, is the result of Neumann’s careless and hasty writing. Beginning with the thesis proposing that the novel features as unreliable narrator, the author of the paper carried out an in-depth analysis of the narrative trying to answer the question to what extent this type of narrative is part of the aesthetic, literary and philosophical discourses of the interwar period.
