Tolstoy's Bible

Tolstoy's Bible originally was the family bible of Leo Tolstoy's family. In 1910, the Russian writer traded Indiana Jones his bible in return for the young American's baseball card collection after Jones had taught Tolstoy how to play baseball, the two of them having traveled together for a while.



When Indiana's mother and father discovered the bible in Indiana's possession, Indiana Jones had to initially convince them that he had obtained the bible through an honest trade with Tolstoy. His father specifically thought that the bible was too precious a gift and that Indiana should not have accepted it, to which his son answered that it was not a gift but part of a bargain.
