Encyclopedic overview
Daniel Kehlmann ( German: [ˈdaːni̯eːl ˈkeːlman, -ni̯ɛl -] ; born 13 January 1975) is a German-language novelist and playwright of both Austrian and German nationality.
His novel Die Vermessung der Welt (translated into English by Carol Brown Janeway as Measuring the World, 2006) is the best-selling book in the German language since Patrick Süskind's Perfume was released in 1985. In an ironic way, it deals with Alexander von Humboldt, one of the world's best-known naturalists of the 18th and 19th centuries, and Humboldt's relationship with the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. According to The New York Times, it was the world's second-best selling novel in 2006.
