A major landmark in Indian fiction, this is a story of how the Gandhian struggle for independence came to one small village in South India.
?There is more to Raja Rao's book than a morality tale. It is written in an elegant style verging on poetry; it has all the content of an ancient Indian classic, combined with a sharp satirical wit and a clear understanding of the present. The author's extensive notes (printed as an appendix) will prove invaluable to the general reader.?-New York Times
