Career overview

Corção was educated at the Polytechnic School of UFRJ, but left the institution in 1920 without obtaining his degree in engineering, specializing later in electronics. He was an active member of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) at this time.[1] After meeting Alceu Amoroso Lima, however, he kept himself at a distance from communist groups and remained close to Catholic circles until his conversion, in 1939.Шаблон:Sfn Corção studied Thomism and theology with Benedictine monks and played an important role at Dom Vital Centre in Rio de Janeiro, founded by Jackson de Figueiredo. He participated in the "Catholic revival" movement in Brazil, which converted many intellectuals previously attracted to Positivism. The writings of G. K. Chesterton had a strong effect on Corção.[2] In 1946 he published an essay on Chesterton's ideasШаблон:Sfn and even translated one of his books, The Barbarism of Berlin.Шаблон:Sfn He was also strongly influenced by the work of the French Catholic writer Jacques Maritain,[3] while still close to the Action Française. His only novel, Шаблон:Citation, was awarded by Unesco and later translated into many languages.
