Sviyazhsky's study was an enormous room lined with book cupboards. There were two tables in it, one a massive writing-table, the other a round one on which lay a number of newspapers and journals in different languages, arranged as if they were mats round the lamp in the centre.
El despacho era una pieza enorme, con muchas estanterías de libros y dos mesas, una grande, de escritorio, en el centro de la habitación, y otra redonda, con periódicos y revistas en todos los idiomas dispuestos en círculo en tomo a la lámpara.
