Produktinformationen zu „Andros Odyssey: Liberation (ePub)“
The daughter of a rich Greek family in Constantinople escapes from her dysfunctional
family by getting romantically involved with a handsome visiting
peasant. This union produced a little boy, Anthony Boyun-egri-oglou.
Anthony grew up during troubling times. He saw very little of his father, who
left for Constantinople and then Russia, to escape from being drafted in the
Turkish army. He grew up in the shadows of the Ottoman Empire as it was
going through major revolutions and wars. The First World War (1914-1918)
followed, causing shortages and anguish on Cappadocian Greeks and Turks
alike. After this war, the disastrous Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) began. In
the ensuing truce, Greece and Turkey agreed to an exchange of populations.
The uprooting (1924) of the Boyun-egri-oglou family involved an arduous trip,
involving cart, rail and ship transports. These people left almost twelve hundred
years of history behind, to seek freedom and self determination in a troubled
state, overburdened with refugees. The struggle of the refugees is recounted by
Anthony very graphically.
In 1940, after several recoveries and disasters, Greece enters into war with Italy,
turning Anthonys hopes for recovery into an impossible dream.

Autoren-Porträt von Stavros Boinodiris PHD
Dr. Stavros (Steve) Boinodiris was born in 1943 in Drama, Greece. His parents were Greek immigrants from Kalivarion (now Guzelyurt), Cappadocia, of Asia Minor into Greece. He came to the USA in his teens, went to school and worked as an engineer for 30 years. He traveled worldwide, including North America, Europe, China and Brazil. He is now retired. He currently lives in North Carolina with his children and grandchildren and travels to Greece annually to his home near Athens.An avid historian, he and his now dead father collected the material for the historical and biographical book series: ANDROS ODYSSEY for thirty years.
The “Andros Odyssey” material resulted in an investigation by the Center of Cappadocian Studies, based in Greece, and the ancient migration of Greeks to Cappadocia from Andros has been corroborated by additional sources. As a result of this, the village of Kalivarion in Andros is currently in process of joining the already established sisterhood of Nea Karvali, Greece and Guzelyurt, Turkey.
Stavros is currently traveling, writing, painting, sculpting, raising his grandchildren and studying world history.
