Description
London and Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1993. Paperback. Very good +. Paperback. 9 1/4" X 6". xlvii, 492pp; xi, 864pp; x, 572pp. Bound in pictorial wraps. Mild edgewear to bindings, firm and sound with spines uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked. A solid and presentable set, complete in three volumes, of van Buitenen's acclaimed translation of the definitive Poona edition of the ancient and vast Sanskrit poem known as the Mahabharata. This set is complete in three volumes and includes: Volume I - Book I: The Book of the Beginning. Volume II - Book II: The Book of the Assembly Hall and Book III: The Book of the Forest. Volume III - Book IV: The Book of Virata and Book V: The Book of the Effort. ABOUT THIS SET: The Mahabharata, an ancient and vast Sanskrit poem, is a remarkable collection of epics, legends, romances, theology, and ethical and metaphysical doctrine. The core of this great work is the epic struggle between five heroic brothers, the Pandavas, and their one hundred contentious cousins for rule of the land. This is the second volume of van Buitenen's acclaimed translation of the definitive Poona edition of the text. Book two, The Book of the Assembly Hall, is an epic dramatization of the Vedic ritual of consecration that is central to the book. Book three, The Book of the Forest, traces the further episodes of the heroes during their years in exile. Also included are the famous story of Nala, dealing with the theme of love in separation, and the story of Rama, the subject of the other great Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana, as well as other colorful tales. Book 4, The Book of Virata, begins as a burlesque, but the mood soon darkens amid molestation, raids, and Arjuna's battle with the principal heroes of the enemy. Book 5, The Book of the Effort, relates the attempts of the Pandavas to negotiate the return of their patrimony. They are refused so much as a "pinprick of land," and both parties finally march to battle. (Publisher).

Description
Burton, Michigan: Subterranean Press, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/very good +. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Jack Vance to half-title. 9 1/4" X 6 3/8". 562pp. Faint shelfwear to unclipped dust jacket, featuring art by Ken Laager. Bound in light blue cloth over boards, with spine lettered in metallic blue. Gentle bumping to corners and to tail of spine, else fine. Binding is firm and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A very presentable signed deluxe hardcover edition from Subterranean Press gathering these three mysteries—the Edgar Award-winning The Man in the Cage, the unforgettable hider-in-the-house thriller Bad Ronald, and the exotic South Seas murderfest The Deadly Isles—by Fantasy and Science Fiction Grand Master Jack Vance. ABOUT THIS BOOK: As well as being an inspirational, acclaimed and widely adored F&SF Grand Master and world-builder par excellence, Jack Vance has always been a mystery writer at heart. Even while ranging the starways and arcane dimensions under the name we best know him by, taking us to alien worlds, strange climes and fabulous yonders, he also used his given name of John Holbrook Vance (plus a few selected aliases) to turn out novels of intrigue and suspense set on this world, dealing with people almost like you and me. Whether featuring exotic locales such as Morocco and the Marquesas, forgotten corners of his beloved California, or even more modest, mundane settings like downtown San Francisco and Oakland, these beguiling, often hard-hitting tales explore the same depths of greed, obsession and depravity as mark his highly praised Demon Princes novels, feature the same resourceful, often cool, sometimes fraught protagonists as travel Tschai, Halma or Cadwal, show the same canny insights into the workings of human nature, the familiar trademark wit, the same fabulous gift for language and creating a living, breathing sense of place. Dangerous Ways serves up three of the master’s richest, most diverse mystery offerings from the fertile middle period of his long and impressive career: the Edgar Award-winning The Man in the Cage, the unforgettable hider-in-the-house thriller Bad Ronald, and the exotic South Seas murderfest The Deadly Isles. Dangerous Ways presents three of the master’s self-penned works in the other popular genre he has always loved so dearly. (Publisher).
