具体描述
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.

读后感
自从人类进化为有思维能力的智人，思考就成了人类最好的朋友，并且被认为是人类有别并且优于其他生物的原因。人类似乎无论何时也不会停止自己思考的脚步，且从中找到了真正的乐趣，而《丈量世界》的作者就从两位天才的奋斗过程中为我们思辨的展现了人类思考的历程。 故事总要从...
评分看了这本书，才知道原来高斯经常逛妓院，洪堡（不是创建洪堡大学的那位，创立洪堡大学那个洪堡是这个的哥哥）是个性无能。就连高斯新婚之夜俩人的前戏都写的那么曼妙，我在想这个作者是不是搭了架能隐身的时空机回到了那个时代分别跟踪了高斯和洪堡才知道的这些事。 ...
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...

用户评价
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Getting bored of the thin fabric of the society
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?
