Measuring the World marks the debut of a glorious new talent on the international scene. Young Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann's brilliant comic novel revolves around the meeting of two colossal geniuses of the Enlightenment.
Late in the eighteenth century, two young Germans set out to measure the world. One of them, the aristocratic naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, negotiates jungles, voyages down the Orinoco River, tastes poisons, climbs the highest mountain known to man, counts head lice, and explores and measures every cave and hill he comes across. The other, the reclusive and barely socialized mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, can prove that space is curved without leaving his home. Terrifyingly famous and wildly eccentric, these two polar opposites finally meet in Berlin in 1828, and are immediately embroiled in the turmoil of the post-Napolean world.

Very cheaply made
Size: X-Large, Color: 02khaki
Not happy at all … this shirt did not arrive as displayed. It’s pictured as two tone giving the impression that it’s a dark brown fabric on top and a different light brown fabric at the bottom… it’s a thin one piece shirt with what appears to be a spray paint top. Very cheap looking

Good quality shirt!
Color: Black(pattern1), Size: X-Large
My husband got this shirt to go along with his new belt buckle he got and I have to admit, I was skeptical on how it would look on him (he’s normally just a t shirt and basketball shorts kind of guy) but I love the look! I’m trying to convince him to wear it more often! The color and fabric quality are great! It’s soft and he says comfortable! The size was true to him! He wore it at work and said it lights weight and breathable! He wouldn’t let me take a picture though…
