About this book
The Last Days of Tolstoy is credited to V. G. Chertkov. The contents list gives the points of the introduction as, among others, that public opinion demands that facts with regard to Tolstoy's going away should be revealed, and that the conditions of Tolstoy's life were a test of his consistency. The text says that Tolstoy's enemies rejoiced, and regarded his supposed inconsistency as a proof of his theory being inapplicable in practice.
Alexandra Lvovna describes how she and her companion Varvara Mihailovna, the amanuensis, were awake that night, and how she was afraid that discussions were taking place between her father and mother. The text says that Tolstoy was deprived, thanks to the egoism of his family, of what was so needful to him as artist and thinker, and above all as a man leading a spiritual life.
