MEASURING THE WORLD
by Daniel Kehlmann
Towards the end of the 18th century, naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, and mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss, set out to measure the world. Measuring the World is a novel of rare charm and readability, distinguished by it’s sly humour and unforgettable characterisation. It brings these two eccentric geniuses to life, their longings and weaknesses, their balancing acts between loneliness and love, absurdity and greatness, and failure and success.
