tale of the heike

This is a masterpiece of buddhist inspired literature and medieval japanese history not to be missed, in my opinion, the better of the two translations available.The web site gives no indication that this is a 2 volume set. I purchased a used copy and was sent only vol.2. Fortunately, I have read the work previously and have a set back in NY
