The older classic and the newer classic. The older classic contains the first 30 hexagrams and their explanations. The older classic is also said to describe Zhou's rebellion against the Shang-dynasty and the defeat of Shang-dynasty. The newer classic has the rest of the hexagrams and Zhou's management- and political philosophy. I Ching has been translated into many other languages and there are many versions of it. Some have also made it into a modern book that explain the hexagrams and their meanings in the present day things and try to tell what will happen in the world by using those explanations.
