Fictional characters, real setting.

I've not read it myself, but I've heard after the halfway point it goes really deep into the philosophy of history and the nature of, well, war and peace. Apparently that disrupts the flow of the plot, but it's also why the novel is so well regarded amongst literature and history buffs.

It's a very advanced text though.
