Passage 4 We were happy to be in Tolstoy's study, where he wrote some of his famous novels such as War and Peace, and Anna Karenina and corresponded with kindred spirits, including Mahatma Gandhi. There we saw the hard bottomed sofa on which he was born, a phonograph which was presented to him by Edison, a picture of Dickens which he had brought from England and the woodwork presented to him by peasants whom he loved. There was also his writing desk, on which was his scrap book, made up from odd bits of papers which others would have thrown into the wastepaper basket. Raj Kumarji said that Gandhiji too could not bear to throw away any bit of paper which could be used and like Tolstoy, kept a scrap book. The most touching sight of all was the candle on the writing desk which he blew out for the last time on the night of 10 November, 1910 when he decided to renounce his home and family and go out and live a simple life. That night he wrote a letter to his wife, explaining his decision, thanking her for the life they had lived together, and apologizing to her for any lack of consideration on his part. His wife's remained strange to this man who has plumbed the depths of the human heart in many imperishable novels.
