Two Chekhov stories--"The Student," and "On Easter Eve"--in new translation--courtesty of [Michael Henry Heim](http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/humnet/slavic/faculty/heim_m.html). These stories are two favorites of mine--and I even read [somewhere][1] that "The Student" was Chekhov's own favorite. It's a spectacular update on the standard [Constance Garnett](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Garnett) translations. Handprinted on a Vandercook Universal I from mint Dante types. The paper was smuggled in from Germany.

The stories are flanked by [Barry Moser's](http://www.moser-pennyroyal.com/) dark engravings. Published in two editions, both bound by [Sarah Creighton](http://www.sarahcreighton.com/).
