Petrus Borel
Joseph-Pierre Borel d'Hauterive, known as Petrus Borel (26 June 1809 – 14 July 1859), was a French writer of the Romantic movement. Born at Lyon, the twelfth of fourteen children of an ironmonger, he studied architecture in Paris but abandoned it for literature. Nicknamed ''le Lycanthrope'' ("wolfman"), and the center of the circle of Bohemians in Paris, he was noted for extravagant and eccentric writing, foreshadowing Surrealism. He was not commercially successful though, and eventually was found a minor civil service post by his friends, including Théophile Gautier. He's also considered as a ''poète maudit'', like Aloysius Bertrand, or Alice de Chambrier. Borel died at Mostaganem in Algeria. He was the subject of a biography by Enid Starkie Enid Mary Starkie CBE (18 August 1897 – 21 April 1970), was an Irish literary critic, known for her biographical works on French poets.

Petrus Killings
The Petrus killings were a series of extrajudicial executions in Indonesia that occurred between 1983 and 1985 under President Suharto's New Order regime. Without undergoing a trial, thousands of criminals and other offenders were killed by undercover Indonesian Army death squads and snipers. Their bodies were then placed in public places which terrorized an unaware populace. The executions were part of a government effort to reduce crime and estimates of the death toll have ranged from 300 to 10,000. Origin of name The term ''Petrus'' is derived from the Indonesian backronym containing the words ''penembak misterius'' (mysterious shooter), referring the undercover and anonymous nature of the death squads. It is also known colloquially as "''dar der dor''", which is an Indonesian onomatopoeia for the sound of a gunshot. ''Petrus'' is also Indonesian version of the name Peter. Background Suharto came to power in 1967 and created his New Order policy to separate his regime from wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
