Buru Quartet

The Buru Quartet is a literary tetralogy written by Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer. It is composed of the novels This Earth of Mankind, Child of All Nations, Footsteps, and House of Glass, published between 1980 and 1988. The books were banned by the regime of long-serving Indonesian president Suharto and his successor B.J. Habibie. The ban was lifted in 2000.[1] The book series is loosely based on the life of Tirto Adhi Soerjo.
