The Puppets' Tale belong to the mainstream of world literature in its sources of conflict: father against son; education against tradition; village against city; man against fate; and the inexhaustible enigma of woman--and man. In the context of Indian literature, The Puppets' Tale is yet another outstanding example of the enormous amalgamative power of India through the ages.
Upon returning to his Bengali village after graduating from medical school in Calcutta, Sashi finds himself out of tune with his fellow villagers and, above all, with his father, Gopal Das, a ruthless man who owes his wealth to questionable transactions. Sashi's growing desire to leave the village runs into complications, both because of the demands of his profession and because of his relation to some of the village women, especially Kusum, an unconventional Indian heroine as well as one of the most convincing, alive and unforgettable women ever created by a great novelist.
