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.

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?

当我拿到这本书的时候,我首先想到的是我可能要花很长很长的时间才能将其读完,或者根本就读不完。之前买来读书经常发生这样的事,我也已经习以为常。书的封面设计很枯燥很学术,整片的深蓝色上画着一圈圈等高线,看完后才知道那也许是洪堡的杰作吧,新书买来我总是习惯...
评分** 閱讀日期:2007.2.5-2.6 ** 我的感想:引人入勝,一口氣想看完的書。 ** 書前的序給我的懷疑:只有寫專文推薦那位是真的有看完這本書,名家推薦的人大概都是看過前幾章,要不就是隨手寫寫,才會覺得這本書是遊記。 ** 這本書寫的是兩個天才從小到老的生命歷程,洪堡跟他最...
评分德意志男人的一种坚硬是民族带给世界的不妥协,反映在文字上就是过于隐蔽的幽默感,以至于阅读起来需要挺直背脊,而不能当作故事消遣。于是大家评论好的德国小说,说它完全不像是个德国人写出来的。比如被广泛拿来和这本《丈量世界》对比的《香水》。 《丈量世界》是一...
评分周末在家,读完《测量世界》。读时心潮澎湃,兴奋不已。 高斯和洪堡,一个出身贫寒,一个出身贵族,前者靠公爵资助读完大学,后者是公爵的养子。一个用大脑推测丈量地球和宇宙,一辈子没出过德国国境;另外一个发现了南美大陆众多的自然现象和奇观,考察过亚马逊河流域。 我...
评分“很差”主要是从翻译的角度上的评价。 最开始是从凤凰卫视的开卷八分钟知道的《丈量世界》,大陆版的叫《测量世界》。 是因为书中描写的是高斯的故事,说是很风趣幽默,所以就买了一本。 但看这本书感觉好像不太连贯,开始以为是没赶上作者的跳跃的思维,因为故事行进得很快...
