Paulo Coelho sells new book to Penguin

The rights to acclaimed Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho's latest book have been acquired for a six-figure sum. The book will be published in August.

Best-selling author Paulo Coelho's new book Adultery is coming out in August.

The novel will be published by Penguin Random House, which on Friday announced it had acquired the rights for a six-figure sum after the Brazilian writer left Harper Collins.

Adultery follows the life of a married woman who is unhappy despite her seemingly perfect life.

It comes after The Alchemist achieved international success and set the Guinness World Record for most translated book by a living author.
