   Works that rival classics often maintain a delicate balance between "realism in detail" and "poetic beauty in the whole." This book achieves this—it doesn't fabricate details in pursuit of a poetic overall effect, nor does it sacrifice overall aesthetic appeal by adhering to realistic details. The realism in detail makes the whole book believable, while the poetic beauty of the whole makes it tangible; one governs the trust of the mind, the other the touch of the heart. A work that combines both is one that can persuade both reason and emotion.
