Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Measuring the World recreates the parallel but contrasting lives of two geniuses of the German Enlightenment - the naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt and the mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss. Towards the end of the 18th century, these two brilliant young Germans set out to measure the world. Humboldt, a Prussian aristocrat schooled for greatness, negotiates savannah and jungle, climbs the highest mountain then known to man, counts head lice on the heads of the natives, and explores every hole in the ground. Gauss, a man born in poverty who will be recognised as the greatest mathematician since Newton, does not even need to leave his home in Gottingen to know that space is curved. He can run prime numbers in his head, cannot imagine a life without women and yet jumps out of bed on his wedding night to jot down a mathematical formula. Measuring the World is a novel of rare charm and readability, distinguished by its sly humour and unforgettable characterization. It brings the two eccentric geniuses to life, their longings and their weaknesses, their balancing act between loneliness and love, absurdity and greatness, failure and success. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Add to basketCondition: Como nuevo. : En el siglo XVIII, dos jóvenes alemanes brillantes se proponen medir el mundo. Alexander von Humboldt, un aristócrata prusiano preparado para la grandeza, recorre sabanas y selvas, escala la montaña más alta conocida por el hombre, cuenta los piojos en las cabezas de los nativos y explora cada agujero en el suelo. Gauss, un hombre nacido en la pobreza que será reconocido como el mayor matemático desde Newton, ni siquiera necesita salir de su casa en Göttingen para saber que el espacio es curvo. Puede ejecutar números primos en su cabeza, no puede imaginar una vida sin mujeres y, sin embargo, salta de la cama en su noche de bodas para anotar una fórmula matemática. 'Measuring the World' es una novela de raro encanto y legibilidad, que se distingue por su humor astuto e inolvidable caracterización. Da vida a los dos genios excéntricos, sus anhelos y sus debilidades, su acto de equilibrio entre la soledad y el amor, el absurdo y la grandeza, el fracaso y el éxito. EAN: 9781847241146 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y Ficción Título: Measuring the World Autor: Daniel Kehlmann Editorial: Quercus Publishing Idioma: en Páginas: 272 Formato: tapa blanda.
