War and Peace. Volume III-IV. Tolstoy L.N.

Write about the plot of the epic novel is an adventurous undertaking. There are epic chances not to meet a limited number of lines. Therefore, we describe the “war and the world” as physics, not lyrics. After all, physicists are concise even when they talk about the universe. So, Kutuzov and Napoleon are two magnetic poles. Let the individual power lines in the space between them be the characters of the novel. There are 569 of them. This number includes all classes of society, all ages and characters; The author analyzes their gestures, facial expressions and even thoughts. And it is necessary to consider the general magnetic field to consider the people, or, depending on its manifestation in the novel, the crowd.

And then he would put what he saw in the general picture of the world and seemed to feel strange magnetism - but no longer instruments, but the very soul.
