This is a novel about Gauss and Humboldt lives. I love the descriptions of how these two men were obsesed with learning and discovering. Humboldt didn't care about traveling in the worst conditions, in order to pursue the knowledge.
Gauss, on the other hand, only wanted to explore his interior world. They are going to meet in a sort of party, and a excitement adventure is going to begin.
This author has a very nice sense of humor. I love his writing.
May 21: I finished the reading of this book. It is wonderful. I loved his jokes, and his examples. Since everytning must have an end, this story ends when Gauss' son comes to America. I strongly recomend it.
