Synopsis of La méridienne
La méridienne (1792-1799) es una obra de Denis Guedj que narra la historia de Jean-Baptiste Delambre y Pierre Méchain, dos astrónomos que, en plena Revolución Francesa, fueron comisionados para medir el meridiano que atraviesa Dunkerque y Barcelona. Su misión era establecer una unidad de medida universal y natural: el metro. A través de su viaje, el libro explora cómo este proyecto científico se convirtió en una aventura llena de incidentes y experiencias sorprendentes, mientras los astrónomos eran vistos con sospecha y enfrentaban diversos obstáculos en su camino.
