It begins with the famous game of dice between the P ndavas and the K uravas, which sets the scene for the war that will lie at the center of the Maha-bh rata epic. But even after the war is ostensibly over when the heroic but flawed king of the K uravas is dishonor-ably 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 bat-tlefield in the aftermath of war.\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in this set: \u003cbr\u003eMaha-bh rata Book II: The Great Hall\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Paul Wilmot.\u003cbr\u003e 588 pages \/ 978-0-8147-9406-7\u003cbr\u003eMaha-bh rata Book III: The Forest\u003cbr\u003e Volume 4\u003cbr\u003e Translated by William Johnson.\u003cbr\u003e 374 pages \/ 978-0-8147-4278-5\u003cbr\u003eMaha-bh rata Book IV: Vir ta\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Kathleen Garbutt.\u003cbr\u003e 516 pages \/ 978-0-8147-3183-3\u003cbr\u003eMaha-bh rata Book V: Preparations for War\u003cbr\u003e Volume 1\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Kathleen Garbutt.
