The Buru Quartet or Buru Tetralogy (Indonesian : Tetralogi Buru) is a literary tetralogy written by Indonesian author Pramoedya Ananta Toer at Buru Island detention camp in Maluku. 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 book series is loosely based on the life of Tirto Adhi Soerjo.

The Buru Quartet books were banned by the regime of long-serving Indonesian president Suharto. The ban was lifted in 2010. [1]
