This book presents an analysis of three novels by the German-Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann (1975): *Beerholms Vorstellung* (Beerholm's Spectacle), published in 1997; *Mahlers Zeit* (Mahler's Time), published in 1999; and *Die Vermessung der Welt* (Measuring the World), published in 2005. His works are examined from the perspective of science as an external reference, highlighting the uniqueness of his texts. The narratives in question revolve around speculation regarding the porosity of reality, thermodynamics as a means of investigating time, and the confrontation between the empirical method and mathematical hypotheses, as explored respectively by Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Friedrich Gauss.
