Measuring the World by Daniel Kehlmann
Daniel Kehlmann
The younger Austrian author Daniel Kehlmann conjures a super and lightly comedian novel
from the lives of 2 geniuses of the Enlightenment. towards the top of the eighteenth century,
younger Germans got down to degree the world. certainly one of them, the Prussian aristocrat
Alexander von Humboldt, negotiates savanna and jungle, travels down the Orinoco, tastes
poisons, climbs the top mountain recognized to man, counts head lice, and explores each gap
within the ground. The other, the hardly socialized mathematician and astronomer Carl Friedrich
Gauss, doesn't even have to go away his domestic in Göttingen to end up that area is curved.
He can run top numbers in his head. He can't think a lifestyles with no women, but he jumps off
the bed on his marriage ceremony evening to write a mathematical formula. Von Humboldt is
understood to background because the moment Columbus. Gauss is famous because the
maximum mathematical mind considering the fact that Newton. Terrifyingly well-known and
greater than eccentric of their outdated age, the 2 meet in Berlin in 1828. Gauss has rarely
climbed out of his carriage sooner than either males are embroiled within the political turmoil
sweeping via Germany after Napoleon’s fall.Already an immense most sensible vendor in
Germany, Measuring the realm marks the debut of an excellent new expertise at the foreign
scene.
Gauss, il principe dei matematici, e von Humboldt, il principe degli esploratori. Due ingegni
straordinari, due personaggi eccentrici, due spiriti liberi, ideali protagonisti di un romanzo che si
propone di mescolare in modo equilibrato verità e finzione letteraria, according to narrare una
bella storia e some distance riflettere il lettore su alcuni temi importanti.Dico subito che il
risultato è nettamente al di sotto delle aspettative. Il primo dei (molti) difetti del romanzo di
Kehlmann è l’inconsistenza della trama, costruita completamente a casaccio e fatta di episodi
biografici più o meno lunghi, giustapposti senza alcun nesso logico. (view spoiler)[Nel primo
capitolo troviamo Gauss che fra mille intoppi si reca in carrozza alla conferenza scientifica che
avrà luogo a Berlino nel 1828. Segue un lungo flashback che coinvolge il matematico e
l’esploratore, dei quali, a capitoli alternati, vengono narrate infanzia e giovinezza con lunghe e
arbitrarie ellissi temporali, fino alla maturità. Passati i due terzi del libro, ecco che ritorniamo
improvvisamente e del tutto inaspettatamente a Berlino, dove si svolge los angeles conferenza
(in realtà una serie di noiosi ricevimenti) e Measuring the World dove i due finalmente si
incontrano in line with vivere pochi drammatici eventi. Negli ultimi capitoli le loro vicende
sembrano intrecciarsi, ma in realtà ciascuno prosegue in keeping with los angeles sua strada, e
il dialogo epistolare fra i due si trasforma in un doppio monologo interiore. Nelle ultime pagine
prevale un tono meditativo e si comincia a comprendere il senso del libro e il messaggio del suo
autore (occhio alla destinazione di Eugen Gauss, spiega molte cose). (hide spoiler)]Sembra che
lo scopo principale del romanzo sia mettere in scena un ritratto vivace, irriverente e accattivante
dell’Illuminismo tedesco tra l. a. Rivoluzione francese e l’affermarsi del Romanticismo.
Kehlmann vuole narrare, in una sorta di racconto filosofico, il tentativo, immane e disperato, di
misurare il mondo con gli strumenti scientifici e con los angeles razionalità illuministica in un
momento storico in cui i Lumi entrano in crisi e si fanno strada nuovi paradigmi di percezione
del mondo. Il desiderio di conoscere, l. a. matematizzazione della realtà fisica, los angeles
mappatura della superficie terrestre o della volta celeste, los angeles ricerca e los angeles
scoperta della soluzione di antichi enigmi sono i possenti motori Measuring the World dell’agire
dei due protagonisti, che si scontrano in modo violento e doloroso contro l’impossibilità
materiale di dare tutte le risposte e soprattutto con l’incapacità mostrata dal resto dell’umanità
di accettarle e farne tesoro. Il fallimento dell’impresa scientifica di Gauss e von Humboldt si
intreccia con il fallimento delle loro esistenze, messe continuamente di fronte all’ottusità e alla
volgarità dei contemporanei: Gauss non riesce a trovare geni matematici del suo calibro, con
cui possa sentirsi finalmente alla pari, e deve vedersela con parenti ignoranti e aridi signorotti
che gli creano continuamente ostacoli; von Humboldt si indigna senza successo in keeping with
l. a. schiavitù e l’oppressione di interi popoli che vivono in condizioni di arretratezza culturale e
sociale, ma los angeles sua celebrità finisce in line with impedirgli di svolgere seriamente le sue
ricerche. Delle loro scoperte, invenzioni e idee si discute in modo davvero riduttivo e
superficiale, ma questa è l’intenzione Measuring the World dell’autore e in un certo senso, los
angeles cosa risulta funzionale alla tesi centrale. Altrettanto funzionali sono i bozzetti satirici di
altri illustri personaggi dell’epoca, fra Measuring the World i quali Goethe e Kant (il quale
condivide con Aristotele il primato della damnatio memoriae fra i nostri contemporanei). Sulla
pretesa accuratezza storica del romanzo, è difficile pronunciarsi: ma certe battute scambiate tra
von Humboldt e Bonpland rivelano molto su quale sia consistent with Kehlmann il rapporto fra
verità letteraria e verità storica.Il fatto è che los angeles farsa tende a prevalere sulla satira e los
angeles dissacrazione finisce presto according to diventare uno strumento spuntato proprio
perché abusato (e questo è il secondo grosso difetto del libro). Appurato che Gauss, von
Humboldt e suo fratello (a proposito: perché non viene mai nominato? confesso di non averlo
capito), Bonpland, Kant, Goethe, Daguerre, lo zar e il re di Prussia, etc. erano uomini e donne
come noi e quindi vittime di debolezze, meschinità e imperfezioni, che senso ha insistere
ossessivamente sull’insensibilità di Gauss verso i propri parenti o sulla mancanza Measuring
the World di umorismo di von Measuring the World Humboldt? Capisco l’umanizzazione,
capisco anche il desiderio di farsi leggere da un pubblico più ampio e meno preparato, ma è
davvero necessario spendere decine e decine di pagine aneddotiche in step with convincerci
che in step with Gauss risolvere un enigma matematico period più inebriante che fare sesso con
l. a. propria sposa o che Measuring the World von Humboldt aveva seri problemi con l’altra
metà del cielo? Tanto più che los angeles spinta verso l’umanizzazione appare nettamente in
conflitto con l’intento dell’autore di Measuring the World caratterizzare i due protagonisti come
geni incompresi in notevole anticipo sui loro contemporanei, al punto da prodursi in previsioni
put up quem un po’ sospette (soprattutto il lungimirante Gauss).La ricostruzione storica è
piuttosto scolastica e semplicistica, quella di ambiente limitata e banale. Talvolta il Measuring
the World linguaggio si fa un po’ troppo moderno e i personaggi si trovano a conversare in un
modo che stride notevolmente con l’epoca dei fatti narrati (come a pagina 111: “Il missionario,
con l. a. bocca piena, scosse los Measuring the World angeles testa. Non gliene sarebbe
fregato niente a nessuno.”). Non sembra essere un problema di traduzione. Un pregio del libro
è che si legge piuttosto in fretta, facts l. a. sintassi estremamente piana e semplice e l’uso del
discorso indiretto libero.L’idea di usare un conte philosophique in step with proporre los
angeles propria visione di quel periodo culturale è interessante: il problema è che Kehlmann, sia
detto con il massimo rispetto, non è Voltaire (che saggiamente non trascendeva mai los angeles
brevità costituzionale di questo genere letterario) e un romanzo di circa 250 pagine risulta
sproporzionato agli scopi che l’autore si propone. Lo testimoniano le lunghe, noiose e ripetitive
descrizioni dei perigliosi viaggi di von Humboldt in the US latina e del massacrante lavoro di
agrimensura di Gauss, che sembrano avere l’unico scopo di intrattenere il lettore con aneddoti
leggeri e forzatamente dissacranti in attesa di svelargli l’arcano nell’ultimo capitolo e che
purtroppo finiscono according to indisporlo a tal punto che quando arriva l. a. rivelazione, ormai
il povero lettore ha già tirato i remi in barca.Consigliato a chi tende a mitizzare i propri eroi,
dimenticandone le debolezze.Sconsigliato a chi non ama il racconto filosofico.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]
