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.

讀後感
文/吴情 你承认也好，否认也罢，德意志民族在历史长河中总是显得异样夺目，诸多伟人诞生于此。例如，影响了哲学史进程的哲学家伊曼纽尔·康德、黑格尔和马克思，著名作家特奥多尔·蒙森、盖哈特·霍普特曼、君特·格拉斯，数学家欧根·高斯和博物学家亚历山大·洪堡等...
評分“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...
評分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...

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.
