Rubem A. Alves Books

Rubem Alves was a Brazilian psychoanalyst, educator, theologian, and writer whose works explored religious, educational, and existential themes. His early experiences with frequent moves and school changes fostered introspection and a reliance on books and religion. After a crisis of faith led him to leave pastoral work, he became a critic of organized religion, advocating for liberal and anticlerical viewpoints. Returning to secular life, he established himself as a writer and academic.
