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.

評分“很差”主要是從翻譯的角度上的評價。 最開始是從鳳凰衛視的開捲八分鍾知道的《丈量世界》,大陸版的叫《測量世界》。 是因為書中描寫的是高斯的故事,說是很風趣幽默,所以就買瞭一本。 但看這本書感覺好像不太連貫,開始以為是沒趕上作者的跳躍的思維,因為故事行進得很快...

評分很不願背後說某本書的不是,但這本三聯版的翻譯值得商榷的地方實在太多,太多。 記得第一次看英文版的《紅樓夢》的時候,實在無語。無言。想罵。 中國人,或者華語世界都知道,那不是一個男孩和十二個女孩的故事。 也不是一個男孩青春期前後的幻夢。 但許多地方,確實沒有辦法...
