Mahabharata Book Eight (Volume 2) - Karna

In India''s great epic Maha-bh-ta, the eighth book, -Karna,-; recounts the events that occurred during the mighty hero Karna-s two days as general of the K-ava army. This second volume resumes on the war''s seventeenth and penultimate day. This will be a momentous day for the Bh-ta clans and especially for a number of their most distinguished heroes, with some of the epic-s most telegraphed events reaching their climax. Not only will the epic''s most anticipated duel between its greatest champions -rjuna and Karna be played out to its cruel and tragic end, but one of the more gruesome episodes in the epic will also take place with Duhsh-na meeting the fate that has long awaited him since his brazen mistreatment of Dr-adi in the assembly hall.
