"The Alchemist" also holds the 2008 Guinness World Record for the most translated book in the world (67 languages in over 150 countries)." And:
' "The great opportunity that Kindle offers to a writer is that it allows readers who are not in their country and do not have access to their local bookstores to immediately access texts in their mother tongue," said Coelho. "Therefore, it is with great joy that I now see all my books in Portuguese, so far only available abroad in a few specialized bookstores, being just a click away from all Portuguese readers that are around the world."
