DESCRIPTION:This month we will be reading
Measuring the World by Daniel Kehlma
nn
Translated by Carol Brown Janeway
&n
bsp;
Kehlmann draws from the literary tradition of German Romanticism and so
me of its
themes in this contemporary work. He cleverly uses historica
l figures to illuminate the
Romantic ideals of nature, science, and ex
ploration in his narrative.
“Toward the end of the eighteenth century,
two young Germans set out to measure
the world. One of them, the Prus
sian aristocrat Alexander von Humboldt, negotiates
savanna and jungle,
travels down the Orinoco, tastes poisons, climbs the highest
mountain
known to man, counts head lice, and explores every hole in the ground.
The other, the barely socialized mathematician and astronomer Carl Friedr
ich Gauss,
does not even need to leave his home in Göttingen to prove
that space is curved. He
can run prime numbers in his head. He cannot
imagine a life without women, yet he
jumps out of bed on his wedding n
ight to jot down a mathematical formula. Alexander
von Humboldt is kno
wn to history as the Second Columbus. Carl Friedrich Gauss is
recogniz
ed as the greatest mathematical brain since Newton. Terrifyingly famous and
more than eccentric in their old age, the two meet in Berlin in 1828.
Gauss has hardly
climbed out of his carriage before both men are embr
oiled in the political turmoil
sweeping through Germany after Napoleon
’s fall.” (Good Reads)
Rowolt Verlag, published 2005, 259 pages.
We hope you will join us to discuss this subtle, intelligent, and witty nov
el of historical
fiction.
