Kehlmann draws from the literary tradition o
f German Romanticism and some of its
themes in this contemporary work.
He cleverly uses historical figures to illuminate the
Romantic ideals
of nature, science, and exploration in his narrative.
“Toward the end
of the eighteenth century, two young Germans set out to measure
the w
orld. One of them, the Prussian aristocrat Alexander von Humboldt, negotiat
es
savanna and jungle, travels down the Orinoco, tastes poisons, climb
s the highest
mountain known to man, counts head lice, and explores ev
ery hole in the ground.
The other, the barely socialized mathematician
and astronomer Carl Friedrich Gauss,
does not even need to leave his
home in Göttingen to prove that space is curved. He
can run prime numb
ers in his head. He cannot imagine a life without women, yet he
jumps
out of bed on his wedding night to jot down a mathematical formula. Alexand
er
von Humboldt is known to history as the Second Columbus. Carl Fried
rich Gauss is
recognized as the greatest mathematical brain since Newt
on. Terrifyingly famous and
more than eccentric in their old age, the
two meet in Berlin in 1828. Gauss has hardly
climbed out of his carria
ge before both men are embroiled in the political turmoil
sweeping thr
ough Germany after Napoleon’s fall.” (Good Reads)
