Paulo Coelho's first book was 'The Pilgrimage' (O Diário de Um Mago, in Portuguese), published in 1987, which chronicles his journey on the Camino de Santiago. 'The Alchemist,' though his most famous work, was actually his second book, published in 1988. The other options are later works. This is a common misconception since 'The Alchemist' made him internationally famous.
