«La misura del mondo» is the historical and philosophical adventure novel by Daniel Kehlmann, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (254 pages, in Italian).
At the end of the 18th century, Alexander von Humboldt explores jungles and volcanoes to measure the world, while Carl Friedrich Gauss revolutionises mathematics from Göttingen without hardly travelling. The novel alternates their lives, weaknesses and aspirations, and brings them together in Berlin in 1828, with irony, historical rigour and a constant interplay between real facts and fiction.
Published in April 2006, translated by Paola Olivieri. It belongs to the I Narratori collection.
For readers of historical fiction and adventure novels with a documentary basis.
Daniel Kehlmann is a German-language novelist and playwright of both Austrian and German nationality.
