There are many Brazilian writers who have had their works translated into other languages.   We have pulled out a couple of the most popular writes and most well recognized.  These books aren't necessarily about Brazil itself, but are a show case of the great literary minds found within Brazil.

Paulo Coelho is by far the best well-known Brazilian writer. His books have translated into 67 languages and have sold over 100 million copies in 150 countries.

	The Alchemist  is Coelho's most known work. The Alchemist has gone on to sell more than 30 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling books in history, and has been translated into more than 67 languages, winning the Guinness World Record for most translated book by a living author.
	Brida contains mysticism, discipleship, and a quest for fulfillment—that are incandescently woven into the fabric of most of his fiction. Brida O’Fern, a young Irishwoman, embarks on a voyage of self-discovery, ultimately resulting in a spiritual awakening and an acceptance of her own supernatural powers.

Veronika, 24, works in a library in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and rents a room in a convent; she is an attractive woman with friends and family, but feelings of powerlessness and apathy tempt her to find "freedom" in an overdose of sleeping pills. When Veronika awakens in the purgatory of Villete, the country's famous lunatic asylum, she is told her suicide attempt weakened her heart and she has only days to live.
	By the River Piedra I sat Down and Wept.  After 10 years of separation, the ex, a former seminarian, now an esteemed miracle worker, invites Pilar for coffee and declares his love for her.   "Some day," Pilar learns, "people would realize... that we can perform miracles, cure, prophesize and understand."
