Literature Analysis

Von Loon is a famous author in the field of culture and history. I like reading his book very much, especially the Story of Mankind . In his book, I found a very interesting writing style of Von Loon, the series of "and". You see, in the snapshot below, a part of the book was opened as text, and I input a regular expression, then all his style of many "and" serires were highlighted, and in the matches list you can see what he joined with "and" .
