Maria Seferou

Cherished Memories of my Childhood in Greece (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book Maria Seferou vividly describes the early years of her life in Dendron, a semi mountainous picturesque village of Peloponnese Greece, where she was born and spent her childhood. The author shares details about her large family, the primitive way the villagers lived in those years and the poverty and deprivation they endured. She also shares many happy memories from those precious years of innocence, which she cherishes to this day. These memories reveal the love and tender care she and her brothers and sisters received from their parents in spite of their impoverishment.
The book also reveals a few unhappy incidences the author experienced as a child under the German occupation of World War II. Further she mentions the horror of the consecutive bloody civil war, the scars of which, unfortunately, have not yet been healed among Greeks. Alas, those repressed feelings are being exploited to this day by the enemies of Greece, who very well know how to implement the devil's axiom "Divide and Rule", in order to serve their own interests.

Autorenporträt

Maria Seferou was born in Dendron, a small village of Peloponnese in Greece, during the Second World War. She studied Civil Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, and she had a successful career as a professional Civil Engineer - the first 10 years in Greece and the next 10 years in England.
Just before the age of 40 she started searching for God and deeper meaning in her life. Consequently, she joined the local Charismatic Church in Harrow Middlesex, England, where slowly but steadily she experienced an inner transformation that completely changed her personality and outlook on life. Gradually she was feeling the desire to return to Greece. It took her two more years to find the courage to give up her job and step by faith into the unknown.
She returned to Greece at the end of 1984, and in 1985 she had already published her first book. Ever since she has written several more books on Christian, social, economic, political and philosophical issues, which are available on her blog: http://seferou-ebooks.blogspot.gr/
When her country started falling into a deep economic and humanitarian crisis, about the end of 2007, she felt the need and the duty for more direct and immediate communication with her fellow Greeks. So she set up another blog where she uploads articles on hot issues of the day, trying, as it were, to expose the roots of the problems and suggest common sense solutions, being aware, though, that she is but another voice in the wilderness...
