It begins with the famous game of dice between the Pándavas and the Káuravas, which sets the scene for the war that will lie at the center of the Maha·bhárata epic. But even after the war is ostensibly over when the heroic but flawed king of the Káuravas is dishonor­ably defeated in battle by his arch enemy, the extended family is still wracked in conflict leaving survivors, victors and vanquished struggling to comprehend their loss. Perhaps the most enigmatic philosophical text from ancient India, the final book in the set, \"The Book of Liberation\" is presented as the teachings of Bhishma as he lies dying on the bat­tlefield in the aftermath of war.\u003cbr\u003e Included in this set:\u003cbr\u003e Maha·bhárata Book II: The Great Hall\u003cbr\u003e  Translated by Paul Wilmot.\u003cbr\u003e  588 pages \/ 978-0-8147-9406-7\u003cbr\u003e Maha·bhárata Book III: The Forest\u003cbr\u003e  Volume 4\u003cbr\u003e  Translated by William Johnson.\u003cbr\u003e  374 pages \/ 978-0-8147-4278-5\u003cbr\u003e Maha·bhárata Book IV: Viráta\u003cbr\u003e  Translated by Kathleen Garbutt.\u003cbr\u003e  516 pages \/ 978-0-8147-3183-3\u003cbr\u003e Maha·bhárata Book V: Preparations for War\u003cbr\u003e  Volume 1\u003cbr\u003e  Translated by Kathleen Garbutt.
