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.

丹尼尔克尔曼先生年轻英俊得不象话,盯着他照片中黑夹克上方的脸庞不到三秒钟,我就没道理地想起当年费雯丽在出演南方美人郝斯嘉大获成功后得到的一句评价:她有如此容貌,本不需如此演技;她有如此演技,本不需如此容貌。如果把它挪用到这位七五年出生的新锐作家身上,只需稍...

未知的世界,并不是每一个人都可以去深入——怀着好奇与热情,理解那最为真实的一面——即使,大多数人在为了现实而忙碌——仍然有人为了无用而探究世界,那无用却成为引导世界的指南。在丹尼尔•凯曼的《丈量世界》中,两条平行的故事线同时进行着,最后终于相交;而数学家...

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...

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.

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?
