German romanticism is awaken by the hypothesis - what if basic ideas shaped our nowadays world is more derived from personal fever when science was deemed as a 'cult' rather than logical inevitabilities proclaimed&verified by its overwhelming effectiveness afterwards? Then, how should we weigh those people bearing contradictory ideas to their age?
評分First time read a seemingly weird novel, but very interesting, insightful. It shows two different genius' different ways of measuring the universe around them, one prefers to stay at home and keep thinking mathematics issues, the other want to adventure across globe and collect nature samples. Genius not always decent, sometimes evilly desirable.

Loosely based on the lives of 19th-century explorer Alexander von Humboldt and a contemporary, mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, Kehlmann's novel, a German bestseller widely heralded as an exemplar of "new" German fiction, injects musty history with shots of whimsy and irony. Humboldt voyages to South America to map the Orinoco River, climb the Chimborazo peak in Ecuador and measure "every river, every mountain and every lake in his path." Gauss is the hedgehog to Humboldt's fox, leaping out of bed on his wedding night to jot down a formula and rarely leaving his hometown of Göttingen. The two meet at a scientific congress in 1828, when Germany is in turmoil after the fall of Napoleon. Other luminaries appear throughout the novel, including a senile Immanuel Kant, Louis Daguerre and Thomas Jefferson. The narrative is notable for its brisk pacing, lively prose and wry humor (curmudgeonly Gauss laments, for instance, how "every idiot would be able to... invent the most complete nonsense" about him 200 years hence), which keenly complements Kehlmann's intelligent, if not especially deep, treatment of science, mathematics and reason at the end of the Enlightenment.
文/吴情 你承认也好,否认也罢,德意志民族在历史长河中总是显得异样夺目,诸多伟人诞生于此。例如,影响了哲学史进程的哲学家伊曼纽尔·康德、黑格尔和马克思,著名作家特奥多尔·蒙森、盖哈特·霍普特曼、君特·格拉斯,数学家欧根·高斯和博物学家亚历山大·洪堡等...
評分看了这本书,才知道原来高斯经常逛妓院,洪堡(不是创建洪堡大学的那位,创立洪堡大学那个洪堡是这个的哥哥)是个性无能。就连高斯新婚之夜俩人的前戏都写的那么曼妙,我在想这个作者是不是搭了架能隐身的时空机回到了那个时代分别跟踪了高斯和洪堡才知道的这些事。 ...
評分“命运让人在过去面前具有一种不恰当的优势,同时又让人成为未来的小丑。”高斯在颠簸的马车上自言自语。回轮马车磕磕碰碰地行驶在不平整的路上。与此同时,远在柏林的洪堡仿佛仍对他不久的旅游考察充满了热衷,翘首期盼。 亚历山大.封.洪堡,卡尔.费里德利希.高斯。两个年...
評分看到十几页我才突然意识到,这个高斯就是那个著名的高斯,高斯定律是在中学还是大学里学到的?我已经记不清了,更别说定律的内容。这对于一个已经工作了将近二十年的工科生来说,除了证明整个教育体系的失败以及就业市场的残酷外,也稍稍打击了一下我对自己智商的自信。因为让...
評分《测量世界》,昨天回到住处,搁在桌上,打开它,一切就都发生了,七点到十二点,那把木椅子格格响,我打着寒摆终于读完它。小说结构用的是双主角双线式,在故事结尾处交汇,把情节交给一位先前不起眼的次要人物。丹尼尔·克尔曼30岁了,这结构掌握得那么不尽人意,可见他不是...
