Mourka: from Kentucky to Koupaki
A mountain Greek village in despair. A humble mule from Kentucky. A forgotten chapter of postwar reconstruction and a timely reminder of the enduring value of international cooperation. In the difficult years after World War II, remote mountain villages in Greece struggled to survive. With the animals that sustained rural life largely lost to the war, fields lay untended and villages abandoned.
From the United States came an unexpected lifeline: thousands of horses and mules to places where hope had nearly vanished. Mourka was one of them.
Told in Mourka’s own voice, this historical novel bears witness to what can be achieved by cooperation between peoples, and what could be lost if commitments to humanitarian values and international cooperation fade.
Panos Konandreas was born in Koupaki, Phocis, Greece, where he completed his elementary education. After graduating from the National Technical University of Athens, he obtained
a doctorate in Agricultural Economics at the University of California, focusing on global food problems. His distinguished career carried him to the United Nations and other international organizations. He has travelled widely, including four years residence in Africa. He has written extensively on strategies to enhance food security and increase agricultural income in low-income countries. He has consistently advocated for reforms in global agricultural policies within the framework of the World Trade Organization, while emphasizing the need to
safeguard the interests of poor agricultural nations, where the sector remains a cornerstone of their economies. In this historical novel, his first literary book, his childhood memories intertwine with the experience of a rich and focused professional life.
He lives in Geneva, remaining always connected to his roots.Website: www.konandreas.net
