Four Starred Review on Amazon

"Nothing less than a literary sensation... 31-year-old Daniel Kehlmann is a literary wunderkind already being compared to Nabokov and Proust."
The Guardian

"He has it in him to be the great German novelist that the world had given up waiting for."
The Sunday Telegraph

The most successful German novel since Patrick Süskind's Perfume.

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. Daniel Kehlmann has produced a novel of rare charm and readability, distinguished by its sly humour and unforgettable characterisation.

"This is a masterpiece at many levels. In its loving depiction of two men for whom one would feel, at best, cordial dislike in any social context; in the superb use of dialogue, tight, subtle and semi-reported; in its haunting and painful descriptions of mental and physical suffering; in the authenticity of its minor characters. It makes you smile, and sadden, and think."
The Independent
