About this book
Two real figures of the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt and the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, share this comic historical novel. Humboldt pushes through the rivers and mountains of Latin America, while Gauss tries to take the world's measure from his desk and observatory. The two finally meet in Berlin.
Daniel Kehlmann published Die Vermessung der Welt in 2005. In English the novel appeared as Measuring the World.
