具體描述
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.

对于这个世界（包含宇宙），究竟我们是以何种方式去理解它？十九世纪，做为解释、理解这个世界的工具，科学终于取代神学。 以亚历山大．封．洪堡（Alexander von Humboldt，1768-1859）和数学家暨天文学家卡尔．费德烈．高斯（Carl Friedrich Gau?, 1777- 1855）为...

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...
用戶評價
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.
评分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?
评分Getting bored of the thin fabric of the society
