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. Even after the war is ostensibly over when the heroic but flawed king of the Káuravas is dishonor-ably defeated in battle, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded in this set: \n\u003cbr\u003eMaha-bhárata Book II: The Great Hall \n\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Paul Wilmot. \n\u003cbr\u003e 588 pages \/ 978-0-8147-9406-7 \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaha-bhárata Book III: The Forest \n\u003cbr\u003e Volume 4 \n\u003cbr\u003e Translated by William Johnson. \n\u003cbr\u003e 374 pages \/ 978-0-8147-4278-5 \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaha-bhárata Book IV: Viráta \n\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Kathleen Garbutt. \n\u003cbr\u003e 516 pages \/ 978-0-8147-3183-3 \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaha-bhárata Book V: Preparations for War \n\u003cbr\u003e Volume 1 \n\u003cbr\u003e Translated by Kathleen Garbutt.
