### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent and well ;written book.
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in Mexico on 10 November 2021*

Loved the book and learned a lot about our past

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating of an incredible life
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in France on 22 April 2024*

This is a detailed and evocative account of the life of a man who was hugely influential in his time and is now almost forgotten. It recounts his South American adventures early in life and his late expedition to Asia, with much interesting history of his life in Paris and Berlin and his contacts with many other famous scientists of the period. All in the context of a turbulent period in European history.It is engagingly written and the author clearly has a profound knowledge of her subject.I thoroughly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An epic intellectual adventure filled with historical cameos
  

*by M***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2024*

Yeah, as everyone says, this is a knock-out biography (though the text in the paperback is agonisingly small). Wulf is a great writer with an incredible command of her subject; Humboldt is a phenomenal hero. I was utterly swept up in the adventure of his life, the world in which he lived, his connection to every historical event and figure from the era (Forest Gump style) and fascinated by his significant contribution to the late Enlightenment; scientific, political and social.That Humboldt's story is now not well known is the whole point of this. Wulf hammers home how all the 19th century intellectual heroes we still hail (Darwin, Thoreau, etc) were Humboldt fan-boys and it's fascinating to see these things in this context. The book delves into some of these fan-boys who came along after Humboldt himself dies. And it's still interesting, but, inevitably, the narrative loses impetus once its hero is no longer actively participating.
